I'd love to switch to sway from i3. However, things like lock screen and screen saver, display sleep, etc, seem hard to figure out in a diy WM. Not to say those things weren't hard to figure out in xorg world, but I've already invested the effort and I'm older and significantly lazier now.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Same boat, there are still too many things i rely on with xorg to do the switch yet to sway.
I had used sway for a year or so and liked it
Then a switched to river ( https://github.com/riverwm/river ) a few months ago, it's also fine
I'm on a very slow mission to remove C/C++ from my setup, otherwise I'd still be on sway
Removing C from your setup sounds interesting. Please tell me more about your setup and the different ways you have removed C.
Why removing C?
I prefer Zig, Rust, Go, and every other programming language that isn't the cause of 70% of CVEs
Humans are just bad at managing memory safety, so why encourage the use of such tools?
