I'd like to add support for hs-plugins (I love and use a lot the lua prompt in Ion3, and I've been dreaming about having an interactive Haskell prompt in my WM), but unfortunately hs-plugins does not work with ghc-6.6.1 (I've just upgraded and built a lot of knew exciting libraries, and I do not want to downgrade back to ghc-6.4.2. Don, could you help me with that? ;-). I'd like to start studying a tabbed layout as soon as I'll have a better understanding of the code base.
I think, regarding tabbing, we should aim to ensure the layout code is configurable enough to do tabs as external modules. This would, I think, mean support for external decorations? (David?).
I must confess that by reading the XMonad site though, I had the slight impression that what you are actually trying do, your main goal, is to prove that Haskell, and its tool chain, allows the rapid development of the highest quality of code.
That's part of it, but mostly we just want to write a better, simpler window manager.
Thanks for your code. Really.
Thanks for the comments! -- Don
