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.
Actually there are lots of X11 window managers in many languages. If we look at Common Lisp, window managers are not new. https://common-lisp.net/project/eclipse/ https://common-lisp.net/project/clfswm/ Well known is Stumpwm: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/wiki It's easy to write a minimal WM in Common Lisp: http://paste.lisp.org/display/19072
