Some of these things (compositor, notably) come by default if you use Sway, which is an i3 compatible reimplementation of i3 written in rust for Wayland. If there’s interest I could do a similar breakdown of my sway config, as certain software is X11 only (rofi, notably) but there are fantastic wayland native replacements.
Sway is written in C, though.
I wonder why I thought it was written in rust.
How terrible of me not to check before saying that.

Huh. You’re right. I wonder why I thought it was written in rust. How terrible of me not to check before saying that.
Also I loved i3 gaps for the look. Even though I don't like borders wasting space. It doesn't make sense.

I never, ever use these autotyping features; they are a security risk. Is my paranoia justified?
I don't think so. https://security.stackexchange.com/a/171916/257701
i3 changed my life. As many workspaces as I want, any window arrangement I want, including full screen. No wasted space. Wrote my own script to add nvidia GPU information to the bar. Bound important programs like browsers and terminals to shortcuts. It's amazing, it just gets out of my way and I get frustrated whenever I have to use anything else.
In practice, though, I've found that I rarely want to write any hacks for i3 itself. But this article is very cool and I may use some of this stuff. The one thing I have spent some time on is my i3blocks config which has some things I like such as CPU/RAM usage monitors and ability to control pulseaudio (switch outputs, control volume etc.).
I use i3 at work but for more than a year now at home I've been using sway. I've had a few bugs with Firefox on Wayland, but currently it's all working very well. Sway is excellent.

I love i3 but it's really missing a way to group workspaces, I use https://github.com/infokiller/i3-workspace-groups but it's subpar, what I'd really really like is a native workspace matrix...
