The future of Wayland, and Sway's role in it

On macOS I use Hammerspoon which I have configured to move and resize windows to specific slots. It's not the same as tiling but it relieves me from having to move windows around manually. On Windows there is Window Sizer or similar.

Do you have any pointers to info on using Hammerspoon as you describe above? I have a low dpi 4K (43") monitor and would like to be able to assign windows to pre-determined regions of the screen.

I've now put it on Github, here:

What's different for mine is that I use a single prefix key, that pops up a notification giving you information what you can do next, and then I press one of those keys. I don't need to move windows that often, so having to hit two keys is not a problem. And it prevents Hammerspoon from hogging too many key combinations.
