Xmonad is a revelation for anyone who spends most of their day on the computer. It takes about a week or two to adapt, but it's a great productivity enhancement. Its really a kind of desktop construction kit: I find myself making layouts that suit my work, mood, and hardware. Like emacs or hypercard, it has that "quality without a name" thing about it. It changed the way I think about user interfaces: there are opportunities for the ideas from xmonad and xmonad-contrib to be applied to window and view management on all sorts of devices and environments.
I'm glad to see someone's really thought about and implemented a way to introduce others to this great piece of software.

- camccann 17y agoIsn't ending up back where you started the whole point of using a Y combinator? Fortunately xmonad is written in a language with lazy evaluation, otherwise the recursion would never terminate and we'd overflow the stack. Sorry, too much functional programming on the brain...
