+# Emacs as a Window Manager and concurrency
+Thomas Koch - <https://blog.koch.ro>, <mailto:thomas@koch.ro>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/rau-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+Rau is one of three different Wayland Window Manager projects active right now
+and the only one written only in Elisp (at the moment).
+
+I'll present the current state of Rau, compare it with the other two projects
+(Reka, EWM) and discuss some difficulties encountered with a focus on
+concurrency and Emacs.
+
+Rau is already fully functional for daily use. The single threaded nature of
+Emacs however is a major issue that will require to move the major part of Rau
+from Elisp into an Emacs module and thus into another language.

+
+About the speaker:
+
+Thomas Koch has a preference for logic, correctness and elegance.
+Therefore, he likes Haskell, Emacs, Nix, Postgres and tries to help the success of <https://github.com/axiosoph/axios>.
+He deeply values open, respectful discussions with people of diverse perspectives.
