Parity VS Way Cooler

What got me interested in learning Rust with Ethereum is Reth (Rust Ethereum Execution Layer Client). OpenEthereum was another Rust client that got deprecated earlier in 2022, which is what I think inspired Reth to be made https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum . It sounds like Reth will go live in January/February 2023 https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth#status they put out a summary here too https://www.paradigm.xyz/2022/12/reth

OpenEthereum | Programming Language = Rust

OpenEthereum v3.2.0 is ready for Berlin.

It's still maintained https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum

For Ethereum, there is Geth, OpenEthereum, Nethermind, among others.

I'm not sure why this was linked. Parity decided to stop developing their Ethereum client and this repo has been sitting unmaintained for about 2 years now, it will almost certainly not successfully sync with mainnet.

The Parity codebase was taken over by new maintainers and turned into OpenEthereum: https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum

However, writing and maintaining an Ethereum client is an exceptional amount of work with very little benefit, the primary OpenEthereum maintainers recently announced they would stop maintaining OpenEthereum and would start pouring their energies into an upcoming client called Erigon. https://medium.com/openethereum/gnosis-joins-erigon-formerly...

Erigon is a much better client.

Also, the Ethereum Foundation doesn't own a lot of the code used in the network. For example, lots of people use OpenEthereum as their client, which is not managed by EF.

I'd like to, but I use the Awesome Window Manager, and there is currently no direct equivalent in Wayland at this time. I was holding out for Way Cooler, but unfortunately, it had stopped development 4 years ago.

Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

I know there is a dead project "Way cooler" a wayland awesome clone. https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler

And way-cooler(awesome wayland), is archived and not worked on anymore.

There have been discussions about porting to Wayland on the Discord before and there was a project called (waycooler)[https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler] that attempted to do this. As far as I can tell, you are right in that it would be a serious undertaking, but I would ask on the Discord if you're interested in setting up some kind of fundraiser.

Compositors have to be specifically written for Wayland. Awesome/Qtile only support X11 but they could be re-written using a framework like wlroots (somebody tried to make an Awesome clone called Way Cooler but development eventually stalled).
