Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Window Manager that does not sacrifice on its looks, it is a wl-roots based compositor that has a lot of eye candy. It was originally made by Vaxry. It is one of the few window managers that aim for pure eye candy with nice animations, smooth looks and its own somewhat of an ecosystem.
It also has it's very own custom syntax for its configurations. It is somewhat similar to bash scripting and it is quite easy to use. The hyperwm team has also made nice utilities that go well with the tiling window manager. Some like hyprcursor are made to completely change and revolutionize the XCursor style we have been using for years, others like hypridle are made for Hyprland specifically and shares a lot of features with something like swayidle, except it is tightly integrated with Hyprland configuration folders. It also has its own wallpaper software called hyprpaper which is considered to be well optimized.
