Nyctal as backend? https://github.com/s-rah/nyctal
Hi, awesome project. I was wondering if you've considered using nyctal as a backend. zero-dependency wayland compositor meant to be used as the basis for larger projects. https://github.com/s-rah/nyctal
Considering that it didn't exist before 2 days ago, no, I have not. Interesting looking project, and similar to something that I was kind of trying to do at some point, but I note that the README says
Nyctal is not a drop-in replacement for any of the well-engineered, feature-full display servers out there. You will probably want to use something based on wl_roots.
I'm not sure that'll work for this project.

The advantages are the way faster build times, no CGO, and no C libraries or C compiler have to be used. But, on the other hand, a lot of program may fail to run. I thought this project went in a more Plan9-like direction, where its not about convenience for the end-user but also for the developers
