-Motivation
-----------
+            thunk : a lightweight X11 window manager.
+
+Motivation:
+
+    dwm is great, but we can do better, building a more robust,
+    more correct window manager in less lines of code, using strong
+    static typing. Enter Haskell.
+
+    If the aim of dwm is to fit in under 2000 lines of C, the aim of dwm
+    is to fit in under 500 lines of Haskell with similar functionality.
