I used to hope that gnome would start to leverage wlroots, but it's clear that wlroots really is a toy, and I'm convinced a dominant rust library is the only way forward for wayland compositors. until then my current dream is that you'll be able to run full window managers under xwayland and I'll go back to fvwm2.
