Putting shit in your food is OK as long as it is only a little bit of shit and you can't immediately taste it.

The thing that I like about River is that it does the compositing while you can build your own window manager on top of it in whatever language you like. There are already a few examples to choose from some of them in C.

    Yeah, I was looking deeper into it as initially River seemed to be going through a zig rewrite but I looked a bit more into it without editing my comment and found there is more. When I got to the stage when my knowledge matched the ability to write my own WM, I was going to use wlroots as a base to build off of. It seems like I have a few paths open to me. Might take awhile for me to get the idea fully off the ground though, as I need to master Python and get back into C before realizing the idea. It will come in stages.
