A tiling window manager written in Rust

Re:A tiling window manager written in Rust by burntsushi on Wednesday December 17, 2014 @08:13PM (#8765508)

Not in the Go ecosystem. :-) We have a real, pure (concurrent) X client protocol implementation: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb (and of course, a WM: https://github.com/BurntSushi/wingo, which is hybrid tiling and stacking, kind of like Xmonad meets Openbox). /shameless plug

Of course, it's not all moonpies and pennywhistles. XGB only supports basic extensions like RandR, Xinerama, Render and Composite. But it's missing Xinput and XKB (which are monstrous).

When I saw this article, I thought "I bet burntsushi wrote it". I've been learning a lot from reading your Go code lately.

Heh, thanks. I spent years of my life with X getting my perfect WM. I'm happy to say I got there. But I can't stomach much more of X. :-)

I was actually looking for your code when I posted, but somehow forgot to refer to it in the end.

Good work!
