Quick update on where I'm at with https://github.com/sminez/penrosx
The new backend is significantly tidied up compared to what I had back in April and running from the new trait merged into the main Penrose crate a few weeks ago. The ffi layer has been torn apart and rewritten and I've got scratchpads working now after wiring in the ability to query properties from windows.
There's still a bunch of things that need sorting out but I think it's now at a point where folks interested in taking it for a spin can see what they think! 😄

I've not got any docs in place for anything yet, and there are almost certainly going to be multiple things changing before I can call this ready to release into the wild but for anyone curious this is what writing your main.rs ends up looking like: https://github.com/sminez/penrosx/blob/develop/examples/demo.rs
