RubyWM – an X11 window manager in pure Ruby
Summary: RubyWM, an X11 window manager written in pure Ruby, has been released on GitHub in a rough version. Developed by Vidar Hokstad, the window manager is not yet fully compliant with EWMH or ICCCM standards and may break with certain apps. Users are advised to treat it as a tech demo and source of inspiration rather than relying on it for daily use. To follow updates, connect with Vidar on Mastodon: @vidar@galaxybound.com.
