i'm mildly annoyed by the project in general because i put in a sizable effort getting the whole sway stack to cross compile correctly in nixpkgs/NixOS, keeping that stable for a year so that people could build on it, and then suddenly hyprland forked every package in the stack with a fresh set of "works on my machine" nix expressions, and then much of the peripheral sway packages (e.g. status bars like nwg-panel, notification centers, etc) decided to become dual-stack and take a dependency on those fast-moving/beta packages. for a solid month any time i updated my machine there was a _new_ hypr-something dependency in my sway desktop that broke cross compilation. eventually i gave up and just set `hyprland = null; hyprutils = null;` in my personal config: mainline's been broken for a year now, sorry to anyone who was using that.

it gives "rewrite it in rust" vibes in the way they rush in to re-do everything without understanding why things were the way they were or if, in fact, anyone was using that obscure feature. maybe they'll sort it all out in time; maybe not. wish they could at least take less of a "we don't care if we break your shit" attitude in the meantime.
