Yeah, but wlroots is taking the role of Xorg there, leaving WM writers to mostly just write the WM

[Izkata]

I'm just wondering how long it'll be until someone uses wlroots to write a client/server architecture like Xorg...

[Cloudef]

It already exists and its called xwayland. Most wayland compositors also have X11 WM inside them...

[Izkata]

You misunderstand: I'm not talking about the X protocol, I'm talking about some new all Wayland thing just so window managers can be separated from the other things you'd otherwise have to implement.

[Cloudef]

Yes and ironically Xwayland is that, but you probably want something like Arcan

[pantalaimon]

I think Mir can do that

[TingPing]

It will never be a popular way to use Wayland because its just a worse design.
