The short version is the wayland devs were hyperfocused on one

[snip the bit longer version]
I thought that the Wayland architecture is in some way
fundamentally better than X architecture, the same way D
templates are fundamentally better than imitating them with a
macro preprocessor, C or otherwise.
But I think you said that it was not about anything that required
a redesign from ground up. Like, redesigning the whole Phobos
because `Algebraic` sucks instead of adding `SumType` would be
our analogy of what Wayland devs did.
I have to study differences in their approach more before I
decide which I personally prefer.
