I hadn't checked my facts: as I discovered a while back: scwm (Scheme
Configurable Window Manager) development is still active.  The
homepage is now at <http://scwm.mit.edu/>.

Last week I tried sawmill a wm extensible in a Lisp dialect very close
to Emacs Lisp (Elisp).  If you're proficient in Elisp I really
recommend it strongly since you'll feel really at home, and even if
you're not it comes with a friendly gtk configuration tool.  The
author says that it was written from scratch [scwm is derived from
fvwm2], and I most say the design seems very good.  It includes a
number of nice themes some of them E-like, and is gnome
compliant. <http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~john/sw/sawmill/>
