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:

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.

Minimize(d) windows: list, open from list, open all
The instructions on https://github.com/xmonad/X11 seem fairly straightforward, so I could update. But dealing with this library is not something I remember ever doing explicitly and is not mentioned (explicitly, at least) in the instructions have followed lately for (re)installing XMonad via stack (e.g., https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/master/INSTALL.md, https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/INSTALL.md or https://brianbuccola.com/how-to-install-xmonad-and-xmobar-via-stack/). In fact, for Debian systems all that is suggested is an apt install of several packages. So I'd rather not try this experiment on my own right now since, in the past, I've sometimes been left with a mess that took me a while to get out from.
