St. Pierre: Xwayland

Jasper St. Pierre writes about the Xwayland back end, which has been merged into the X server core sooner than had been expected. "So, why did it succeed so fast? To put it simply, Xwayland has been completely rearchitected to be leaner, cleaner, faster, and better than ever before. It’s not done yet; direct rendering (e.g. games using OpenGL) and by extension 2D acceleration aren't supported yet, but it’s in the pipeline." Lots of details can be found in the article.
