This is a very early-stage project (alpha-version) + a set of experiments of building HAckable Text Input System (HATIS)

* ! Moving from Guile Scheme to Common Lisp !
This project was originated in Guile Scheme using realatively new library guile-wayland. I think it's a great language and the leverage from the Guix ecosystem is awesome too.

Friendship is over with Guile Scheme. Now Common Lisp is my new friend.

This project was originated in Guile Scheme using realatively new library ~guile-wayland~. I think Guile is a great language and the leverage from the Guix ecosystem is awesome too.

But later on I've realised that the library is still pretty raw and buggy in some places. I tried to figure out the internals of it and send fixes, but it was too hard.

Then I've looked on other lisps: Racket and Common Lisp.

And in the last one I've found Wayflan which is just great and well-tested. I have almos 0 knowledge of CL before (only guile scheme & clojure), but hey, how bad can it be? Pretty mature and stable language after all. Old guile attempt can be found at ~guile-dev~ branch.

* Description
Text-editors are dead as a concept. What's needed is a text-input system. Mobile phones got it right more than 10 years ago. Both Android and iOS can catch the text-input context: «ah here we can input text, let's show the virtual keyboard!».
