Installing Xmonad on Arch
The official guide and the archwiki do say that it's okay to just install it via pacman, but I've also found some issues on the official repo that strongly suggest against installing via pacman and to use stack instead, as sometimes pacman breaks dependencies.

Is it just me or it nix becoming more common
Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

[Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust
Hey everyone đź‘‹ ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:
-
Genuine question: how do you all use Haskell IRL?
Daily, because xmonad
-
MultiToggle is toggling layout on all workspaces when using WorkspaceCursors
If the problem is as described in the reply linked below, then this isn't a fundamental issue, but just a matter of how sendMessage is written. In fact, the fix already exists in xmonad/432:2fff2a0.

What LaTeX setup do you use?
There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing shrs and xmonad you can also consider the following projects:
