Vignatti: the damn small Wayland API

On his blog, Tiago Vignatti compares the soon-to-reach-1.0 Wayland API against the existing X.org API, which is about 15 times larger. "Although X and Wayland’s intention are both to sit between the applications and the kernel graphics layers, a direct comparison of those two systems is not fair on most of the cases; while X encompasses Wayland in numerous of features, Wayland has a few other advantages" — chief among them, of course, is a much simpler API.
