Thank you. |
Haha, I came here just to do the same thing (file an "issue" which was really a "impressive work" compliment). RE: Your other project - it looks like you know x11/xorg/etc fairly well. Since you seem to be acetic as a monk with your code (not an ounce of fat !), what do you think of the Mir/Wayland/etc transition? I've never even written anything without the help of QT or GTK, but from what Ive read I'm not too enamored. It should be possible to get an aesthetically good looking DE/WM/UI toolkit running without the fat of KDE5 or OS X. (I'm perfectly fine with tiling WM's but I look back to BeOS' GUI (or even QNX which fits an entire hard RTOS on a floppy!) and I just get flabbergasted. I understand that there's a lot of legacy cruft behind it all (which makes me think that Wayland is going to be bloaty out of the box), if you were to design a DE/WM on top of BusyBox or a minimal Arch install (that perhaps had it's own UI toolkit designed, with "we'll load the GTK/QT binaries as needed) how would you go about it ? |
Thanks for the compliment, always means a lot to know that somebody likes what you do.
I am not an expert on x11/xorg but I know the basics and was able to get everything working to a certain extent, so it is probably best not to overvalue my opinion.
I follow the whole transition only minimally. Personally I try to stay away from any kind of hype or wothless discussions/debates and keep the ground below my feet. Especially for tech that did not prove itself yet. As for my libraries if/when wayland with one of its implementation proves to others as valuable and I would get a request for a demo version I wouldn't say no for political reasons. That being said I looked inside the Mir source code and was not blown away in any kind or form.
I am probably not the best to answer this. Personally I am a complete minimalist and use dwm/i3 since what I care most about in WMs is that I do not have to think about them at all. I don't care so much about features anymore (I gave up on that long ago) but instead want everything to just work and not bother me. On the other hand if I look at BeOS and NextStep I sometimes wonder how much better WMs/DEs could be today if somebody who really cares would work on it. |
Very nice set of tools, thank you 👍
Would be great if you could add more math tools!
