blazescript VS komorebi

I didn't get hired but https://github.com/BlazifyOrg/blazex

I don't buy the fact that it's smoother. I think it really depends on what you are using. I have used bspwm, awesome and even i3 and have enjoyed most of them. I use yabai on macOS and I can see there are actually tiling window mangers for Windows https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi but at that point I'm spending too much time making Windows feel like Linux and I should just use Linux instead.

I'm the maintainer of a tiling window manager written in Rust which has been shared here before, and until recently I was happy enough using AHK to handle key bindings for all my twm actions since it was easy enough to generate an AHK wrapper library for the clap CLI using Rust.

windows tiling: komorebi

This is a bit of a PITA for me as most people use AHK to handle shortcuts for komorebi[1], which led to me generating an AHK library[2] to help people write their configs. Turns out every single line of that generated library (not to mention the entire sample config for newcomers) is now invalid syntax in v2.

I'm taking a month off from development while I'm traveling, maybe I'll feel less salty about this when I get back.

The biggest issue right now is that the Run and RunWait commands require strings for the commands to be executed, and AHK v2 has absolutely garbage support for string interpolation.

Honestly I'm not sure if I'll continue supporting AHK or just develop my own sxhkd (swhkd?) and recommend that for users going forward.

How does it compare against komorebi?

Right now I'm quite humbled by the number of people who are using Notado[1] to liberate their Twitter Liked Tweets before the collapse that everyone is worrying about.

There are also thousands of people using a tiling window manager for Windows which I originally built for myself and decided to share publicly for free.[2] I still can't believe how popular it has become, very humbling.

Have you tried Komorebi? https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi

* A more general library generator for the main configuration format preferred by the community[6]

Most interestingly for me, I used the subscription service to write an automatic application-aware keyboard layer-switcher[7], which means that I never have to store a key binding to switch between programmable keyboard layers ever again; whichever window I switch to with my tiling window manager, if there is an application-specific keyboard layer that I have defined with custom bindings, shortcuts etc, they get automatically applied without me even having to think about it.

It's such a huge productivity booster, a real "the future is now" moment for me personally.
