    Sway vs Hyprland, #Linux folks.

    Go.

    EDIT: for the record I'm aware of vaxry's politics and that is the main reason I want Hyprland off my main machine.

    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.
