    What point?

    waybar depends on gtk-layer-shell/gtk3. ironbar depends on gtk4-layer-shell, which is disappointing since it's implemented in Rust.

    If there is an option that doesn't incur a GTK or QT dependency, I would like to know about it.

    There’s https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust for example?

    No tray support or other basic features. Just shows piped output from custom commands, from what I can tell.

    Checked out a few other "minimalist" options from the list, and they are similar.

    I'm looking for something that has a tray, and supports showing toplevels and workspaces without relying on compositor-specific IPC mechanisms. Something that can replace what comes built-in with Awesome.
