XMonad for Wayland — call for help

Yes, we have some things to discuss. Like:

  • should we fork hsroots?
  • should we start from scratch?
  • which version of wlroots should we target releases
  • should the bindings be very low-level or should they try to provide a nicer extraction? There are some projects that were started and then looked like they died because of the imperative nature of what they were doing
  • I don’t think this involves just wlroots, I think it involves bindings to wayland too, which may already be done.
    • there was this project Sudbury, but I’m not sure what happened to it sudbury

I’m still a Haskell beginner, and my xmonad config is super simple, hardly changed from the example. So, I’m an xmonad beginner too.

I’ve only ever used Stack + Nix, so I was trying to see how to do just Cabal + Nix earlier repo. I was thinking Nix Flakes could be nice because Nix can manage our C dependencies for us.
