Show HN: A Tiling Window Manager for Windows, Written in Janet (Score: 155+ in 5 hours)

Hi HN!
I read[1] about Janet[2] some time ago, then immediately got impressed by the enthusiasm of its community, and by the language itself, so I started playing with it.
At the time I was searching for a tiling window manager for Windows, and unavoidably the idea of scratching my own itch with Janet got hold of me, so Jwno was born.
Simply put, Jwno is a keyboard-driven tiling window manager for Windows, scriptable with Janet. But since it has a complete Lisp runtime, and a thin wrapper library for Win32 APIs[3], you can certainly do much more with it.
I hope you'll enjoy playing with it as much as I enjoyed building it.
And yes, I use StumpWM on the Linux side, by the way.
