Well, for one thing, tiling WMs having "no config" and instead just being configured in the implementation language, is pretty much the standard. See StumpWM, Awesome, xmonad, etc.
Dwm is written in C. A tradeoff of that is having to recompile it. But it also has upsides like resource efficiency and speed.
I don't daily drive it and never did, but dwm has been a godsend back when I did embed, for implementing a highly restricted work flow easily for embed applications.
I think of it more as a template for quickly throwing together a custom WM from scratch, when resources are at a premium.
Edit: Namedropped the wrong WM.

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoYou're right of course, my bad. I think for some reason my brain transposed i3/sway with awesome, which is configured in its implementation language. Will correct my comment, thanks.
