  • Basically there are a bunch of restrictions baked into Wayland that are there for security reasons. For example, the protocol doesn’t have a way to record keystrokes. Which is reasonable since apps really shouldn’t be able to do that whenever they want. But some apps really need that, and they had no way to. Recent extensions fixed most of these issues but it has been a long road.

    My comment was obviously devoid of any nuance, I am on programmer humor after all. I actually do use typescript, but I think fixing issues in application code that isn’t used by other code is a waste of time. I also think there are lots of advantages of a very dynamic language, like usable REPLs and much easier debugging. We can take these advantages way further by embracing the dynamic nature of javascript, like how lisps do it for example. But instead, everyone is happy going down the route of turning it into another c# (nothing against c# but we don’t need all languages to be c# and java).
