 CodeBitCookie | welp sorry to disturb you, its 12:30 pm here | 07:29:03 |
| CodeBitCookie | you have a point | 07:29:16 |
 Daniel | LOL it's 2:30 AM here. 😆 | 07:29:44 |
 mıaomāı | X itself uses more RAM for me than XMonad. | 08:53:32 |
| mıaomāı | If you want the most efficient, though, you should generally stay away from Haskell; while it is nice, it is generally not very efficient. | 08:55:43 |
| mıaomāı | But XMonad is still great, and comparatively tiny | 08:58:02 |

| 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 |

Wow I didn't know that

Okay, I wouldn't go that far

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

| CodeBitCookie | Okay I am hooked | 18:55:18 |
| CodeBitCookie | I am using XMonad | 18:55:26 |
| CodeBitCookie | 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 |

| CodeBitCookie | Do I have more control with haskell or rust or xmonad (built with some other programming language) | 11:04:50 |
| CodeBitCookie | 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 |
| CodeBitCookie | If you like rust, twftw “Tiling Windows for the win” | 16:50:16 |
| CodeBitCookie | Is Xmonad built in rust | 16:50:22 |
