Developer releases Lambdock, a Wayland-native GTK4 desktop dock with embedded Scheme REPL

An independent developer has published lambdock, an open-source desktop dock built for Wayland using C, GTK4, and Guile Scheme, available on Codeberg. The project aims to fill a gap left by aging tools like Cairo-Dock and Plank as Linux users migrate away from X11, offering features such as fluid hover animations, auto-hiding, and dynamic window tracking. Its standout feature is a live embedded Lisp runtime that lets users inspect and modify the dock's behavior while it runs.
