Just another wayland compositor

Small experiment, trying to get a wayland compositor up and running with the neovim expression engine.

Used lots of good tutorials:

• https://drewdevault.com/2018/02/17/Writing-a-Wayland-compositor-1.html

• https://gist.github.com/SirCmpwn/ae4d1cdcca97ffeb2c35f0878d75dc17

• https://people.freedesktop.org/%7Ewhot/wayland-doxygen/wayland/Server/structwl__listener.html

Dependencies

• meson

• ninja

• lua

• wayland-server

• wlroots

• xkbcommon

• pthreads

• libuv

• msgpack-c

• unibilium

• libtermkey

• vterm

• libutil-linux

Build

Not really usable yet but to run it:

git clone https://github.com/joalon/vimway; \
cd vimway; \
git submodule init; \
git submodule update; \
make libnvim; \
mkdir build; \
meson build; \
cd build; \
ninja

Make sure to run under another wayland compositor! Doesn't handle input yet so you can't interrupt it/switch to another tty.
