A fully programmable Wayland Compositor
kiwmi is a work-in-progress extensive user-configurable Wayland Compositor. kiwmi specifically does not enforce any logic, allowing for the creation of Lua-scripted behaviors, making arduous tasks such as modal window management become a breeze. New users should be aware of the steep learning curve present, however this will be reduced as the project matures.

Documentation for the API can be found in lua_docs.md.
Additionally kiwmic can be used to send a single lua string to kiwmi for direct evaluation.
For example:
$ kiwmic 'return kiwmi:focused_view():id()'
