Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
swc
- Swc is a small Wayland compositor implemented as a library
- Suckless and Wayland?
-
xorg sucks, use swc
swc is a wayland compositor library implementation in about 10k sloc.

X is Boomer
HOLY SHIT, I spent a couple days playing around, researching wayland, theres a library SWC that implements the core parts of wayland in 10K LINES OF REALLY SIMPLE CODE WITH ALMOST NO DEPENDENCIES.

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.

I am looking for a wayland based tiling window manager which is close to dwm/xmonad, which one would you recommend?
I wrote Vivarium specifically to behave like my old xmonad setup, although it isn't at all like xmonad internally. It's configurable in C.

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland:
I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compositor and nothing like xmonad internally.
River[1] has a fantastic tiling model via user-provided executables, which makes it very flexible and probably a good fit for many people wanting something xmonad-like.
Waymonad[2] exists as a direct xmonad-like compositor, but I think development has been basically stalled for a long time. Sometimes there's discussion about reviving it though.

Recommended Compositors
Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

xorg sucks, use swc
https://github.com/inclement/vivarium.git and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl.git are also great projects in the same vein.
