It can be customized with the [[http://www.lua.org/][Lua]] programming language. Lua has always had a bit of a bad reputation with me, but that hasn't stopped me from using this window manager. I still don't like the language, but with awesome you can really do a lot cool things. It is almost the Emacs of window managers. It has a lot of features that other "simple" window managers don't bother with, or leave up to other programs and it has a pretty impressive API for interacting with it. Of the extensible window managers I have used this is certainly the most active one at this moment.
