xmonad : a lightweight X11 window manager, written in Haskell. I think these "[x], but written in [yr favorite programming language]" projects aren't especially news-worthy (or for that matter attention-worthy), but it's neat to see it's based on / influenced by dwm: because, as yet another learning-Haskell project, I too wrote a window manager in Haskell that was based on dwm.
Mine didn't do too much. I don't think I posted about it here 'cause I was a little ashamed of doing it; it's not like the world especially needs another window manager.
(Haskell geeks only for this part:) That project mostly made me conclude that IO-intensive apps like window managers are sort of a pain. Their code (which uses a state monad to track the state of the world) has chunks of line after line of "
