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

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's the good window manager for a beginner?
As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3.

How to install v0.17 on Arch
How are you installing the xmonad code that you try to build? Have you cloned https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad and https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib into your ~/.xmonad directory, and then running stack init?

How do you handle variable monitor configurations?
Now coming to the xmobars themselves, https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Hooks/StatusBar.hs has everything you need and will only spawn and kill the requisite number of bars depending on the number of monitors connected. You can even have different bar configs per monitor (for ex: one with tray, rest without).

Minimize(d) windows: list, open from list, open all
Right, the it doesn't see windowFilter is because I added this function to window bringer recently (Aug 15, see https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/594)

[help] UrgentHooks with xmobar
I also wanted to rewrite the API of some EWMH-related modules to make use of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Util/ExtensibleConf.hs, but we should probably prioritize getting stuff merged. If you'd be willing to help, I'd be happy to guide/mentor you. There's just one little problem: I'll only be online for a coule hours in the next week and a half. :-/
