holy crap. I've never used Wayland or Zig and this is still one of the most interesting programming talks I've seen in years. This video really seems to be making a good case for Zig as a game programming language.

Good explanation on the differences between X11 and Wayland. Also linked lists in rust *Oof*

Interesting to see Rust have such problems to embed this real life usecase

Not a dev but I’m so looking forward to the first release of River :) also want to learn zig now - sounds really great!

Edit: add rounded corners - instant win.

Nice to see Kakoune make an appearance in the wild! I’m setting up an environment with river that I hope to make my daily driver eventually. I saw that you have a wlroots implementation in Zig; how compatible is river with wlroots (for tools that say “for wlroots compositors)?

KDE isn't written in C, but C++.

Wow! That guy is already prepared to go to work when he finishes university, which is more or less the same as what he did in this talk if you replace Linux with "Meeting calls" and Wayland with "Deadlines"!

I think the problem is.... Wayland is inherently unstable. Just try using it....

It seems like this sneaky dude is laughing while speaking because wayland is just the same thing as xorg but with built in compositor and he knows he deceives us
