1. guile-wayland, Guile Scheme

   Raw, WIP, really big, has some C incrustations and unreliable: sigsegv sometimes, hard to debug.

2. ★ wayland-scm, Ultimate Scheme - r7rs [Guile, Guix packed] [Chicken, Gauche — adopters wanted]

   Looks very good. Much less code than guile-wayland. Very interesting. Will try it in a couple weeks, probably pack and send patch to guix.

   [upd: 13.11.2025]

   Original author (@mal or @kfu) removed or renamed his/her account from codeberg and dissapeared without a notice. I coudn't contact via email. I've adopted this project, implemented missing feature ("new_id" event handing), guix packed, fixed a couple of small bugs.

   Please use and report on new problems.

3. wayland-protocol, Racket

   ~ 5-6 times less code than guile-wayland, no pure C files. Seems very good although lacks tests and the last commit ~ 8y ago. Has nix.shell file. Not packed in guix.

4. cl-wayland, Common Lisp

   Polished, tested & well-maintained. Has guix package in upstream.

5. wayflan, Common Lisp

   Polished, tested & well-maintained. I personaly used it and it was beautiful. Has guix package in upstream. I'm the package author.

Am I missing something? Please tell me.
