A dynamic window manager for X11 written with Node.js

For some reason (Bad marketing? Bad documentation?) this fact doesn&#x27;t get much attention, but Gnome&#x27;s desktop environment is written in JavaScript and styled with CSS.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.gnome.org&#x2F;Projects&#x2F;GnomeShell&#x2F;Development" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.gnome.org&#x2F;Projects&#x2F;GnomeShell&#x2F;Development</a>

Interesting . But for me so far nothing gets even close to the beauty and symplicity of dwm (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dwm.suckless.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dwm.suckless.org</a> )

The &quot;Why?&quot; section seems to answer the question &quot;What?&quot;.<p>Would have expected either &quot;Why you should use this&quot;, or &quot;Why I&#x2F;we wrote this&quot;.

There sure is a shitload of C in this node.js program.

Keep in mind that this is pretty old, and no longer compiles against recent Node.

cwm[1] is by far the cleanest wm I&#x27;ve used. It reeducated me on what a wm should be. Focus by hover, no bars of any kind, move and resize with shortcuts instead of searching for the clickable area, extremely lightweight, good straightforward configuration (opposite of openbox).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=cwm+window+manager" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=cwm+window+manager</a>

for me &quot;Javascript&quot; + &quot;Window manager&quot; will always mean pyro (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20100626182331&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pyrodesktop.org&#x2F;Main_Page" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20100626182331&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pyrodesktop...</a>). so much wasted potential there :(

So how long until somebody makes a kernel in Node?

OT, but does anyone have any suggestions as to a tiling window manager which can effectively use the mouse?
