It's SLOC is ok, but two issues for me: (i) It features a kind of 'static' window management model in the tradition of ion/wmi(i)/i3. (ii) The IPC mechanism reminds me of all the mistakes I made in wmi (with wmiremote) and later wmii with wmiir/libixp. I can't comment on musca which it claims to be an influence as well though. But good to see another tiling WM being around, as this at least gives some hope that the tiled world will have some impact on mainstream interfaces (actually I believe they already had quite a lot of impact when looking at mobile OS'es like Android).
