I stuck with wmii for a really long time because it had kick ass 9p integration. I never got very good at she'll scripting my window manager, but man, what a divinely easy way of "programming" it was. The experience still sings to me.
It's such a different more awesome world: rather than APIs, we just expose data & let people futz with it. Giving up structure for operations is real allmagmatic magic.
(Sidenote, it's also such a sad sorry tell that Lua remains the one and only embedded language with real popular use. It's... fine. But limited libraries & they're not always easy to use inside embedded Lua. I feel like calling it "divisive" but the next best Sway/AwesomeWM/wmii is probably going to be wasm powered, is going to be supercharged by being better at pushing work out to plugins.)
