I have one question: the page you referred to says "live hacking [in stumpwm] means you can hose your X session"
It's correct, and I have done it several times in Sawfish, like infinite loops. (I've never tried StumpWM.) But isn't it the same for any of these WMs that if you have errors in your code, your WM can be almost unusable, no? Or is it less likely in haskell?
So far I've never done that hacking on Xmonad; the type-checking means only runtime errors happen, and I'm better at Haskell than I was at Common Lisp, so I have yet to, say, reload Xmonad with an empty root keymap. (With that example in particular, I'd actually have to work hard at it. The usual style for configs is to *combine* the default keymap with the custom keymap - 'myKeys c `M.union` keys default config c'. So if I replaced myKeys = [], I would still be left with the default XMonad keymap when I reloaded.)
(And please make it habit to record the date of last web page edit, which is really informative for readers.)
gwern.net is a Darcs repo, so the full history is available. Or you could check the HTTP headers for the last-modified header, I believe. I've been meaning to ask Jasper to make Hakyll provide the last-modified file time for easy substitution (I'd probably put it below the 'abstract' field), but haven't gotten around to it.
# Wow, you're interested in 柄井川柳 (Karai Senryu)? I don't know # about him at all, but I'm interested in Edo period senryu, too.
Vaguely interested; that was added years ago when I still thought Wikipedia was a great place to work. My enthusiasm flagged after finishing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujiwara_no_Teika and I didn't find very many sources about senryu, so...
# I'm Japanese. :)
I figured from the name. In an amusing coincidence, one of my favorite poets is Fujiwara no Teika (see above). -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
