  1. tinywm

    The tiniest window manager.

    Sure!

    https://github.com/mackstann/tinywm

    I've run it once a long time ago and worked perfectly fine for me.

  3. plwm

    An X11 window manager written in Prolog

  4. guile-wm

    A Window Manager Toolkit for Guile Scheme

    Already exists: https://github.com/mwitmer/guile-wm

    There might also be ones in other Schemes, but as FFI hasn't been standardised across Schemes yet I doubt there's an implementation-agnostic one.

  5. sowm

    Discontinued An itsy bitsy floating window manager (220~ sloc!).

    Not sure about that Python project, but years ago I found this very minimal WM in a few hundred lines of C helpful: https://github.com/dylanaraps/sowm

    Was a lot easier to understand for me than, say, dwm.

  6. cellwm

    A specialized Tiling Window Manager in 800 lines of C

    I created my own X11 window manager [1] at the start of this year in around 800 lines of C.

    I had been using dwm (4000 lines of C) for many years and wished to write my own for a long time, but what made me take the leap was really steveWM [2] and TinyWM [3] which are both super small.

  7. steveWM

    A Linux X11 Window Manager

  8. river

    [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor (by riverwm)
