I think the Xlib dependency would prevent compilation as an αpε. I put some effort into doing X11 from scratch (without Xlib or Xcb) to make this possible. Or at least, my aim was to be able to build with musl libc and generate a single executable that would run on many different Linuxes.

https://github.com/abainbridge/deadfrog-lib/blob/master/src/.... It is janky though.

One advantage of speaking X directly for small projects is that one can allocate fixed ids.

Super interesting!

> It is janky though

So what? It can be improved :)

Would you like to try to make an APE out of it? It would then be not just different Linuxes, but also MacOS and Windows, a bit like https://x410.dev/ or the free software vcxserv https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/
