This is:

• a C library doing the Wayland bits and low-level logic
• a guile Scheme module wrapping the C library
• a guile Scheme script implementing high-level logic

It's all based on hooks, so eventually the WM could just load an init.scm from your config where you can overwrite whatever handlers / functions you want. Kinda like how you can redefine emacs functionality.

And you could also just use the library itself and wrap it in whatever language you want (as long as it has a C FFI).

This will require some more thought, luckily I am at my mothers place right now and can take the dog on a walk, which is easily the best way to focus on a topic like this.

@lhp This is exactly the kind of thing I have been hoping to see emerge in response to the river-window-management-v1 protocol.

Thanks for the nice motivation boost :)

@ifreund Likewise :)

I got into wayland and wlroots because I wanted to experiment with window management. I know that if I had stuck with writing my own compositor I would never find the time to focus on the fun bits, so getting "adopted" by river that one day had turned out quite nice for me :)
