Hi peeps simd. I'm in need of a simple WM for wayland (i know it's not a wm but rather a compositor, but it's easier for communication). Not really looking for rice or fancy animations, but for:

  1. very little cpu and ram usage
  2. easy configuration (no patching pls)
    Can someone recommend some? Thank you gentoo_heart

not expert on this area but sway is used by many people and very alive, probably very solid pick.

maybe wayfire (=compiz but wayland), but you still need to bring ya own panel and stuff

also there is labwc as openbox for wayland

I like how some haskellers when they code in C/C++ write function return type on separated line like it's method's type qualification,
I will steal it probably.

I think it's not inspired from haskell, but about the line width

GNU C guidelines recommend that syntax too

I think I have seen it also in suckless software a while ago

#

Dunno, I think the types in C are too short for having them in a separate line

#

They've added auto in C23 but it seems it's only for variable types:

main.c:8:1: error: ‘auto’ requires a plain identifier, possibly with attributes, as declarator
    8 | auto main(void) {
      | ^~~~
