instead VS arcan

Happy Adventure Building! If you suddenly want something more powerful - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md

For example INSTEAD Engine - docs, game examples.

Huh, this is a task for an advanced programmer. But. You can take a ready-to-use engine for text games if your task is to make the game, and not to learn a programming language. For example: Instead Engine - docs, game example (download, play online)

Lol not arcan

See https://arcan-fe.com/, in particular Lash: https://arcan-fe.com/2022/10/15/whipping-up-a-new-shell-lash...

LOL. Not. Meanwhile, one dude managed to write an entire display server that handles, both, Wayland and X11 apps: https://arcan-fe.com/

Arcan is a decent contender for an actual way forward (and like PipeWire replacing PulseAudio, Arcan natively supports X11 and Wayland clients)

How about Arcan? [0]

It seems very well reasoned, has stable API, excellent backwards compatibility and does not require GPU and i5 as this one might? Its author also has proven record and actual experience, which I'm not sure authors hpf TFA have, judging solely from their writing.

Something like Arcan is already much more promising than Wayland. Using its segment implementation the compositor is able to dynamically simulate anything inbetween the Wayland and Xorg extremes of mechanism vs policy.

I think Arcan also tries to handle this reasonably but I don't remember the specifics.

FWIW, you can pipe graphics sort of with arcan[1]. So its not like the ideas have been abandoned.
