2025-12-06 05:36:34 +0100 <geekosaur> looks to me less like wlroots bindings than a wlroots equivalent in rust
2025-12-06 05:35:22 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> I see https://github.com/Smithay/smithay
2025-12-06 05:32:27 +0100 <geekosaur> also wlroots is roots. it's not a full compositor library, just the bones of one and you need to provide the sinews
2025-12-06 05:31:45 +0100 <geekosaur> right. and there are IIRC wlroots bindings for both. (I saw bindings for zig and go and even experimental ocaml bindings; I may have missed rust bindings, or they're not in sway's github but rather the freedesktop gitlab with wlroots itself, or somewhere else.)
2025-12-06 05:31:16 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> at least until that next-gen haskell-C bindings generator arrives
2025-12-06 05:30:20 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> gotcha. So probably this is a bit easier to do in rust or zig
2025-12-06 05:29:51 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> 👀
2025-12-06 05:29:42 +0100 <geekosaur> it has complications, mostly due to a lot of things being raw pointers in the usual C style
2025-12-06 05:29:04 +0100 <geekosaur> someone did propose a protocol for external wayland window managers and such, but it was shot down due to security complications. (see Xsecurity, and how difficult it is to configure meaningful security without breaking window management or other things you really need to work)

2025-12-06 05:28:51 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> so wlroots is a C library that does the hard wayland stuff, and the problem in haskell land is making good bindings for it ? Is that a hard problem or just a tedious/boring one ?

2025-12-06 05:24:59 +0100 <geekosaur> see for example sway
2025-12-06 05:24:49 +0100 <geekosaur> the flip side being that even minimalist "window managers" have to come with a full window server and compositor built in
2025-12-06 05:24:18 +0100 <geekosaur> which is why both gnome and kde are monoliths (gnome-shell and plasma, respectively)

2025-12-06 05:23:52 +0100 <geekosaur> clients don't have to be reimplemented, but services in general must be built into the display server/compositor
2025-12-06 05:23:33 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> from afar, progress on wayland things always seem to move rather slowly
2025-12-06 05:23:03 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> interacting with wayland generally requires an independent implementation of its complex protocol/functionality - would that be a fair statement ?
2025-12-06 05:21:33 +0100 <haskellbridge> <sm> geekosaur thanks. I don't entirely understand but it's interesting
