AI Analysis

●●SolidWizardryNiche Gem

WASM plugins for compositor logic beats Hyprland's Lua scripting for sandboxing.

Strengths
  • •WebAssembly sandboxing means plugins can't crash the compositor process itself.
  • •i3/Sway-compatible IPC works with Waybar, swaymsg, and existing ecosystem tools.
  • •Hot-reload config and plugins without restarting the compositor session.
Weaknesses
  • •Linux-only, no BSD or macOS support despite Wayland's cross-platform potential.
  • •Plugin ecosystem is empty — no community plugins shipped with v0.9.0.

Hi all. I am very excited to announce the release of Miracle v0.9, now with full hackability! Miracle's plugin system is built on WebAssembly. We provide a Rust API for building plugins for window management, animation, and even configuration. Feel free to give it a try today!
