On a serious note: "nobody" wants to work on it because it's a shit crippled protocol and nobody wants to be constrained by decisions of idiots from GNOME.

The fact that Weston is not developed so heavily is a sign of its maturity. It has become more independent of its core developers. Wayland already has a core protocol. It also has other established protocols like xdg-shell for desktop use. KDE has successfully used Wayland in desktop and mobile settings. Sailfish has proved Wayland on mobiles and OpenWebOS has done the same on TVs. Third party groups like Kwin and wlroots have proven they could come together and flesh out reusable protocols without any "blessings" by core Wayland devs. Google even has used Wayland creatively to create an Android runtime for ChromeOS. In fact, I would call Wayland the rare success story of many small and large Linux-focused groups finally working together.

Because of that crap that people struggled with, it took like 10 years and wayland is still not widely adopted. Who wants to contribute to crap? Crap I can write myself, I dont need to start learning and struggling to understand the crap of others. Go check the official pdf of the wayland documentation.... WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF.... was my reaction. It was a documentation that doesn't allow you to write to simplest wayland client. Should have been called fairy-tale, not documentation.
