The internals of `schewn' +are kept to its C core, but its capabilities are exposed as a Scheme +API. + +This project aims to provide something more akin to `2bwm' but with +Scheme extensibility, with the aim of being a more ergonomic, dynamic, +and convenient way of configuring the window manager to do what the +user wants without wondering about recompiling its source code. + +Compared to StumpWM, we do not aim to have a Lisp-based window +manager, but rather a convenient library of Scheme functions which +only expose the functionality of the window manager, while having a +core in C which does the heavy lifting. |
