xmonad : a lightweight X11 window manager. Motivation: dwm is great, but we can do better, building a more robust, more correct window manager in fewer 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 xmonad is to fit in under 400 lines of Haskell with similar functionality.
