Does anyone else feel that Wayland is taking away the hackability of Xorg?
taiwins because the devs tried wlroots but it proved to be too inflexible for their lua hooks.

Yes, Wayland moves all X server responsibilities to the compositor, but that doesn't mean the compositor can't use libraries that help it implement practically everything the X server would provide - wlroots and wlc are two such libraries, and ASC is a Wayland compositor with Xwayland support built using wlc that itself only has about 250 lines of code, 100 of that being bindings for its Lua API. ASC on GitHub (let's hope automod only cares about top-level posts).
What are some alternatives?
