At least, I was once wise enough to leave this comment.

Writes JavaScript, longs to write Lisp.
@smuglispweenie I did. It doesn't happen.

@shinmera That's totally understandable, no worries. I just thought I'd try planting the idea. :)
The CL community already owes you big time! Thank you for all your work!
@shinmera BTW switching to Wayland has been painful for me too. I did it after I bought a 4K monitor, which is better for my aging eyes, and KDE got too slow.
I stayed on labwc for a while, but it was painful. Either Qt apps looked like shit, or GTK apps looked like shit, and I could never made LibreOffice to not look like shit. Various pains. Finally I gave in, bought a laptop with more horsepower and went back to KDE, which Just Works™.
But seriously, I'd love to work on a CL compositor…
@shinmera I've been thinking of telling you this for a while, perhaps now is a good time:
The world *needs* a hackable Wayland composer — by this I mean written in Common Lisp — and you are The Most Qualified person to write one! I would gladly step in to help, but I wouldn't know how to get started…
I would also gladly contribute some cash towards this, if you would consider crowdfunding it.
My account is almost 8 years old, but initially ambivalent about calling attention to it, I never did an #introduction
I'm Marijn Haverbeke. I've been building open software for 20 years. My greatest hits are CodeMirror & ProseMirror, code and rich text editors for the browser. I contributed heavily to the early stages of the Rust compiler, and published a book, Eloquent JavaScript.
I enjoy books, cooking, and plants. I post about my work and, too often, to let off steam about current events.
