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. I'm bored with C-like languages and the scripting language of the day. While I have a preference for data flow languages (I miss Prograph), Haskell looks cool.
