Any way for those who enjoy dynamic languages (non-Python) to call it via FFI?

Nvidia finally started supporting GBM in 2021. IIUC EGLStream is more vestigial now and can be removed.

Wow. Would this allow a macos-based wayland-client to create an EGL surface?

Every time I hear hierarchical storage, I can't help but think "It's all coming back to MUMPS, isn't it?"

FFI is harder if the target lib doesn't have a C interface.

I feel I'm forced to reach for FFI if I want to do anything graphical e.g Wayland or OpenGL. Otherwise it's optional

can winehq save the day in the interim or in the transition?

can't help but wonder if I'd like this syntax for system timers or cron...

It looks like there is an extern C interface... I wonder if it is everything necessary for someone to use it via FFI.

Wow authored by person who created Solar Realms Elite... A blast from my past crossing into my present.

(A bit reductionist of his many accomplishments in between, I know, it's just a thing that's hit me in the moment)

The first of this macOS WMs that implement something that understands the wayland protocol -- bridges it to macOS compositor or whatever -- will really have my money.

Japan has different standards and driving environment around kei cars (I'm going to use K-car going forward).

- Their top speed limit even on highways is 100kmh / 60mph

- K-cars have yellow license plates and yellow license plates are not allowed on highways

I have a memory of seeing one of the infamous white K-trucks on an interstate in Nashville and was gobsmacked. These cars are not rated for highway / interstates in Japan, let alone the U.S.

I'm not sure if the U.S. has a similar visible markings for farm vehicles to allow K-cars city road travel and deny interstate travel. If not, I agree they should be banned until some sort of classification is made and driver culture / knowledge is propagated.
