The post was about writing a Rust wrapper for Wayland -- I thought Wayland was supposed to be a relatively new/modern framework.
It seems like windowing toolkits in general might present some difficult scenarios for Rust, regardless of age.
- qalmakka 6y agoThe post was about writing a wrapper for wlroots, a Wayland library designed to simplify writing Wayland compositors upon which Sway is made, not Wayland itself. There is a nice reimplementation/wrap of Wayland C libraries, and it's wayland-rs.
