Hyprland 0.55 announced the switch to Lua for its config files

Hyprland version 0.55 introduces a significant architectural shift by replacing its previous configuration format with Lua scripting. This change aims to provide users with greater flexibility and programmatic control over window management behaviors and keybindings.

Background

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that has gained popularity among Linux users for its visual effects and performance. The move to Lua allows for complex logic in configurations that was previously difficult or impossible to achieve with static config files.
