What?
xmonad.
The reason I pointed it out is that it (a window manager) is something one usually thinks of as being "nothing but IO", yet this is not at all how xmonad is implemented.
Indeed it sure *looks* like it should be "all I/O"... ;-)
As for ease, it is shorter, more featureful, more robust, and was implemented much quicker that it's "inspiration" dwm. It also seems pretty popular for its age (not just in the Haskell community) as far as minimalistic window managers go.
More... featureful...? It's a minimalistic WM. It even says so on the tin. Either it's minimal or it isn't... As for "robust"... it tiles windows. What could possibly go wrong?
