Is there a way to create a WM with winit?
writing an X11 window manager is ... extremely tedious. have a look at https://github.com/sminez/penrose .

[Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust
Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

if I wanted to make a Tiling Window Manager in Rust, how would I go about it?

Its not opinion. Its fact
im not sure weather or not i should mention penrose an dwm here :D you can configure even more than with kde (and my setup ended up way beyond anything recognisable)

Building a Tiling Window Manager with Rust and Penrose
There are many existing tiling-window managers with i3 probably being the most popular choice for linux systems. These window managers can depend on extensive configuration files or in the case of dwm, git patching or C programming. Penrose takes a different approach in that Penrose is not a window manager. Penrose is a high-level rust library that you use to build your own window manager. This gives us many options for customization while also giving us all the advantages that come with writing rust code.

I wrote an x11 tiling window manager inspired by DWM that I've been using for a few months now. If you're using x11 and want to try out a new tiling window manager I'd love your feedback!
Mostly non-dynamic except for wm-specific actions. What kind of events are we talking about? I think that if we're talking about something that on a more low-level exposes x11 events penrose is a better bet. That being said, exposing something like:

Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
You might find Penrose interesting. Basically a rust library that you can use to write your own X11 window manager without needing to deal with a lot of the lower level details of X11.
