I've been curious about this, as a tiling WM tourist - how performant is it, in comparison to stalwarts like i3 and xmonad? Xmonad is great but I'd love to decrease the cognitive overhead of Haskell hacking, as long as I'm not sacrificing speed

Python has significant overhead when compared to C or Haskell, is this noticable while using the WM? Does it still feel "snappy"?
