Just another wayland compositor
I decided to build a wayland compositor based on wlroots. The reason? I wanted to have a dynamic tiling window manager where you can actually create new layouts without playing around with the source code. So yeah here is the result of that work: https://github.com/werererer/japokwm of course with an AUR package.

Wayland Performance on Low End Hardware
juliawm (which is similar to dwl) recently had a commit saying they implement damage tracking, dwl didn't seem to implement it. These are all projects that seem fairly immature so maybe stick with sway or some other mature wlroots based window manager for now.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing japokwm and juliawm you can also consider the following projects:
wdisplays - GUI display configurator for wlroots compositors
wayvnc - A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
wyverkiss - (INACTIVE) An (unofficial) alternative rootfs for KISS Linux
swaylock - Screen locker for Wayland
epd-wm - Wayland compositor/window manager that outputs to IT8951 E-Paper displays (WIP).
labwc - A Wayland window-stacking compositor
KISS-me - A KISS repository for forks, projects, and fun
