In all honestly this is all I've ever wanted out of a window manager.

Very impressive and very useful for certain Emacs workflows. Also, something tells me the creator of this project and its users won't feel the need to spam HN and r/programming with regular updates on the progress of the project in an attempt to raise the profile of the language it was written in--unlike what we saw with a certain other tiling window manager a few years back.

In fact, there is already a Lisp (Common, not Emacs) tiling WM called StumpWM. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's partly because the Lisp community isn't so embarrassingly insecure and desperate for anything they can pass off as a "killer app" (see Macsyma or Emacs itself) that they feel compelled to shove it down everyone's throat.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've gone from Gnus to Wanderlust finally settling on mu4e. The first two were probably more a gimmick where mu4e actually enables me to get things done.

One of those "gimmicks" has been working great for me the past 20+ years...

Emacs long ago (decades) expanded to read mail. There are probably multiple mail clients in GNU emacs now
