An xmonad demo at the haskell workshop

Hey all, I'm going to try to give xmonad demo and experience report at the Haskell Workshop, this year in Freiburg. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~keller/haskellws/HaskellWorkshop.html My plan is to talk about: * QuickCheck, testing and specification * Interacting with ugly C libraries, in a clean way * Benefits, drawbacks, and experience designing system utilities in Haskell Does anyone have any suggestions on other aspects of the project that would be interesting to present? -- Don

Points that I can think of right now: - MVC -- especially how a purely functional model (StackSet) allows for lots of testing - extension in Haskell, extensibility of keybindings and layouts in a real programming language has been a big win for us Spencer Janssen
