Raises the obvious question of why not using the wayland protocol (on another socket, not on the compositor socket). It has mature implementations in many languages, an IDL with compilers, and every GUI application is already going to link to libwayland anyway.

(Or perhaps even COM)

vaxry has a beef with Drew Devault, who called him out and exposed his behavior when not writing code.

Considering a sizeable part of Wayland's low-level stuff is written by Drew back in the day, vaxry won't touch anything written by Drew.

This "protocol" effort is to further decouple Hyprland from Wayland infrastructure.

Like everything, this effort is again driven by ego and spite.

Now that's the info I missed, I knew the hyperland devs have a bad reputation so I was wondering what was not being said , thank you good sir.
