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.

I think user adoption rate is a little far from the author's motivation. It seems that he had something in mind for himself and if others have a use for it too, then score. Otherwise, I doubt he cares if he ever shows up as a blip against the various other WMs out there.
Lucky for him Microsoft dropped the "Monad" codename for their new shell already or he could have been ceased and desisted into another name.
