jekor explains how the xmonad window manager uses purely functional data structures and monad transformers to manage windows.
Learn how xmonad uses purely functional data structures to manage the windows in an X11 session. We'll also see how to modify a stack of monads to allow us to print out state transitions for a running Haskell application.
