            Bug ID: 93086
           Summary: Is it possible to run wayland apps on all platforms?
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: zupexad at mailzi.ru

To ensure cross-platform each toolkit has its own low-level API for drawing
widgets. In search of another bike I wanted to write a Toolkit, but after I
came to the conclusion that the low-level API for primitives will be the same
as those of wayland. And I thought: what if the layer responsible for the
platform, slipping a little lower? Wayland Protocol will be ported to all
platforms (including microsoft windows) that greatly facilitate the writing of
new cross-platform Toolkit. The only problem when porting wayland, in my
opinion, will be the file descriptor when you create wl_pool. However,
applications must have their own abstractions for shared memory. If wayland
will be a single API on all operating systems, you'll be sure to native
composers, which will render the primitives wayland applications. What do you
think about this?
