[DVRC]

I'd like to see some code to understand what it takes to write a functioning Wayland application, a bit like David Rosenthal did in his paper "A Simple X11 Client Program -or- How hard can it really be to write ‘Hello, World’?" (USENIX 1988 Winter Proceedings).

Anyway, if I was persuaded that Wayland has a rather backwards design (here my reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47477083), now I have the confirmation that its philosophy is something like "put surfaces on the screen and distribute events to the clients, all the other stuff is not my business", and that exploring alternative approaches to window management is still worth it. Having applications that manage all their resources (canvases, events, decorations) is not bad per se (for example video games), but not all of them need to.
