The author of River has also done some fantastic talks, on Zig ShowTime [1] and at FOSDEM '21 [2].

[1] "Writing a Wayland Compositor in Zig" - https://youtu.be/mwrA5IRGpfU

[2] "Zig: the perfect language for a Wayland Compositor?" - https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/zig_wayland

written in Zig, neat.

wiki has one of the best lists of base Wayland utilities I've seen: https://github.com/ifreund/river/wiki/Recommended-Software

Doesn't Wayland have "compositing" built-in? I guess this should have been named "window manager"?

Interesting project btw :D

> Display servers using the Wayland protocol are called compositors because they also act as compositing window managers [1]
