I was about to say... dwm was more like the grandson of modern tiling WMs.

Hell, it was fork from dwm author's _own_ project wmii.

Acme was written in the '80s, and the author of wmii and dwm states it inspired his ideas. Acme was based on Oberon, which Wirth wrote so long ago that he had to build his own hardware to run it on.

larswm predates ion by a few years, and that was inspired by Rob Pike's acme programming environment for Plan 9 ( http://acme.cat-v.org ), which was preceded by Help, which in turn was influenced by Oberon.
