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. + +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!».
