  • Implementation of the Wayland Protocol for Common Lisp
    > Seriously, lisp? Sure, why not? This is a Wayland client, not the server (aka, compositor). But there's little technical reason not to make the compositor in Lisp either, other than the time commitment. If you want Rust clients and compositors, they do exist. If you don't know how to find them, here's one that turned up on Google: http://way-cooler.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Are there any tiling window managers for wayland written and configurable in Rust?

  • Wayland?
    There is way-cooler, though I don't know which state the project is in, or how compatible it is with awesome. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Alternative b/c wayland
    There is a drop-in replacement in development called Way Cooler, but I think it's in pretty early stages of development and I haven't tried it myself. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Are there any ongoing efforts of making a desktop environment (similar to KDE or Gnome) in Rust?
