Nicely ranted. I'm one who feels that ranting is a kind of art (or can be profitably interpreted that way), and well-formed rant counts as art. This is a good rant, not great, but heartfelt and sincere with judicious use of curse words and rhetorical flourish. (For greatness in ranting see the work of Mickens, perhaps our finest performing ranter of the day. https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens ) - - - - On a tangent, I've been keeping an eye on the Arcan project https://arcan-fe.com/ https://arcan-fe.com/ > Arcan is a powerful development framework for creating virtually anything between user interfaces for specialised embedded applications all the way to full-blown standalone desktop environments. > At its heart lies a robust and portable multimedia engine, with a well-tested and well-documented interface, programmable using Lua. (Nothing against Wayland, I'm just mentioning it to say something potentially useful to someone.)
