Ergonomic Wayland protocol scanner and libwayland bindings for Janet.
The main repository is on codeberg, which is where the issue tracker may be found and where contributions are accepted.
Read-only mirrors exist on sourcehut and github.
Currently janet-wayland requires a libwayland patch that has not yet been merged at the time of this writing.
With a patched version of libwayland installed on the system, run:
janet-pm install https://codeberg.org/ifreund/janet-wayland
The API of janet-wayland is not yet considered stable. I don't foresee major breakage at this point, but janet-wayland has not yet had enough usage to work out all the kinks.
Documentation is pretty non-existent. It should nonetheless be pretty easy to figure out for anyone already familiar with writing Wayland clients and reading Wayland protocols.
Currently janet-wayland only supports writing Wayland clients, not Wayland servers. Although writing such a latency-sensitive program as a Wayland compositor in a high level, garbage collected language doesn't make much sense, it would be nice to have support for writing basic servers in janet for testing purposes. Probably it will make sense to expose two separate modules for clients and servers rather than a single wayland module, this will be a breaking change.
See the examples.
