Mosaic Style Wayland Compositor

[janvhs]

Adopt GNOME their Mosic idea into a freestanding compositor to learn about WlRoots.

Maybe Dahll or Yaml could be used for config and OCaml, Swift or Go could be used for the Compositor.

Mutter, TinyWL, Weston and the one Budgie will use, can be an inspiration

Cosmic has one too
