You weren't the audience of this article. Since he wrote it as a blog post on way-cooler.com he surely was expecting his audience to be people familiar with Way Cooler, Wayland and Rust. He doesn't have a responsibility to dumb it down for you. And anyway it only takes a few minutes for you to get the context. Which you did, good job.

So it's way-cooler.com's fault for not explaining what their library/website is about.

Which unfortunately is par for the course on 99% of company blogs, which never explain what the company does without going onto the homepage (which even then is often confusing).

It's not a company blog. It's a some guy's open source side project. Ya' know... free... open source... side project... that's he's voluntarily sharing technical information on.

Really, it's not the guy's responsibility to over-inflate the article because some people need their hand held. It's a blog about about Rust, Wayland, and window managers. If you don't know what those things are then, like, Wikipedia is there for you, man.

It's like going to a programming languages website and going "well, gee, these guys suck for not explaining what a programming language is on their homepage what is with everyone being so discourteous!?"

And it's not like a paragraph of context would have mattered anyways; if you don't know what Rust is, what Wayland is, or what tiling window managers are then you'll need a lot more background knowledge before the article's content begins to be assailable.
