#rivercompositor — Public Fediverse posts

River is a Wayland compositor written in Zig that defines a window manager protocol so that, like with X11, write your own window management software. As with X11, the protocol is language-agnostic, so you can define your window manager using any programming language at all.

I have been gradually becoming more interested in Zig as a potential replacement for C in systems programming. Rust is another interesting potential replacement.
