Wayland compositor (window manager)

Why are we moving towards mandatory compositing and client side decorations? Surely those two things alone are going to be a much bigger source of bloat than X11 ever was (and CSD a source of headaches too).

Wayland is just a library, you implement the compositor yourself to do only what you need (and efficiently). In X11 you are stuck with the cluttered composition.

If you want to write a window manager, but don't want to write your own compositor library, use one of the existing ones such as wlc, swc, etc.

Wayland let's you choose what to do as a developer and let's users have a less bloated experience.

I've heard people complaining about this X11 bloat, but I've never seen it explained.
Personally I don't find using Xlib to be anything special.
It could always be better, but I don't know of one WM lib that allows me to just call a function to open a window, and another to poll for events, and let that be it.

can't wait for something like an equivalent of IceWM for Wayland to come up

also LXQt, but wouldn't they rename it to something like LWQt/LWDE (Lightweight Wayland Desktop Environment)?

So, trying to bring this thread back into /prog/ territory… what do I need to know to write a Wayland WM from scratch (as in, no Weston base)?
