It's loosely inspired by dwm in that it uses a similar configuration file and keybinding system.
On a technical level, howm uses xcb- a more modern and efficient X protocol binding. dwm uses xlib.
From a user's perspective, howm has multiple modes for manipulating different kinds of windows as well as operators, motions and counts. This means that multiple windows can have the same operation performed upon them. For example (assuming that the correct modifier keys are being pressed) pressing "q4w" will lead to 4 windows being closed.
howm also has some features that dwm only provides as patches, such as useless gaps and a grid layout.
