Window Managers Xmonad was announced today on the haskell-cafe mailing list. It supports multiple monitors through xinerama. The unique part of this window manager is that it is written in Haskell in under 500 lines. Haskell is a purely functional programming language with very strong static typing to ensure correctness.

Very interesting and very impressive. Yet this will be of use to a very small subset of users as most window management operations have been standardized by now and most users would be at a loss without the usual minimize, mazimize and close buttons.
