Writing a window manager in Rust is interesting precisely because it's written in Rust.

I wouldn't be surprised if this homebrewed WM didn't hold up in features or performance to alternatives like xmonad, dwm, Awesome, i3, etc.

However, the linked repo is an interesting way to showcase both a relatively new technology (Rust) and the innards of WMs, which most people don't look at very often. It gives non-Rust-users a glimpse into Rust's features and capabilities, and a glimpse at how simple (150 loc + 125 lines of config) a window manager can be.

I found it insightful.
