plwm ★ 294 8 APPLICATION

plwm is an X11 dynamic tiling window manager written in Prolog. It features a modular architecture with separate Prolog modules for window management logic, layouts, menus, settings, and utilities, combined with C bindings to X11 libraries via SWI-Prolog's FFI. The system processes X11 events in a main event loop, manages window state through dynamic predicates, and provides multiple interaction methods including keyboard shortcuts, dmenu/rofi menus, and a scriptable command FIFO. Key entry points include the main Prolog file (src/plwm.pl), build system (Makefile), and installation script (tools/install.sh). External dependencies include X11 libraries (libX11, libXft, libXrandr) and SWI-Prolog.
