 mıaomāı | * But XMonad is still great, and comparatively tiny. | 08:58:25 |
| mıaomāı | If you're counting megabytes, maybe you should try to stay away from a graphical environment entirely; there are plenty of TUI things around. | 09:01:51 |

X itself uses more RAM for me than XMonad.
Wow I didn't know that

Okay, I wouldn't go that far

If you want the most efficient, though, you should generally stay away from Haskell; while it is nice, it is generally not very efficient.
This is the one I am most confused about, as some people say that it can run at the speed of C, and some people say that it is slow

| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Okay I am hooked | 18:55:18 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | I am using XMonad | 18:55:26 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Thanks for the help mıaomāı | 18:55:58 |
| mıaomāı | 👌 | 20:06:00 |
| mıaomāı | … It can, but you (rather, programmers using it) have less control over it at a lower level. How efficient the program ends up being, is dependent on how well the compiler can optimize it. | 20:07:32 |
| mıaomāı | I just installed a different Linux distribution after running on NixOS for a pretty long time. Should I bother trying to set up XMonad differently now—in the Xfce it came with, perhaps—or just copy over the old config files and go with what I'm used to? | 22:50:24 |

| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Do I have more control with haskell or rust or xmonad (built with some other programming language) | 11:04:50 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | I just love customizablity | 11:05:10 |
| mıaomāı | You can do anything with either. | 15:48:33 |
| mıaomāı | Rust is generally going to get you faster and less memory-intensive results, but Haskell is still nice. | 15:50:27 |
| mıaomāı | Rust also feels less like black magic. Most of the time. | 15:54:00 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | If you like rust, twftw “Tiling Windows for the win” | 16:50:16 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Is Xmonad built in rust | 16:50:22 |
| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Here is a link | 16:50:28 |

| @code-bit-cookie:matrix.org | Oh it is actually window ruling for the win | 16:52:08 |

 @therealdannyboy:matrix.org | XMonad is written in Haskell. It's not as new and shiny as Rust, but it feels like black magic, as has been said. | 17:30:59 |
| mıaomāı | A year or two or three ago, I might have tried that wtftw, but I am become lazy. XMonad is nice and I'm used to it now. Even though I still can't figure out how to get it to make room for xmobar. | 18:49:45 |
| mıaomāı | I'd try it now if it supported Wayland… and the evil proprietary graphics drivers I'm using supported Wayland. | 18:53:46 |
| @therealdannyboy:matrix.org | Waymonad is a thing. | 19:48:08 |
