    A small Wayland compositor inspired by Plan 9's rio. (by DeedleFake)

  • wl

    Pure Go Wayland protocol implementation.

  • Source: I've been slowly building my own wlroots-based compositor for about a year now and I also wrote my own pure Go implementation of both sides of the Wayland protocol for the fun of it.

  • mir

    The Mir compositor (by canonical)

  • If you find the list "odd" feel free to change it on Wikipedia. Also Mir is literally a Wayland compositor as stated by the git repo. To my limited understanding (I never done anything with it, I only saw it on the Wikipedia list) it's quite similar to wlroots.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
