Probably, unless we manage to get some development going.

The core X specifications are very static, but some newer features
such as Beryl-style eye candy require extensions that are rather less
static.

PyWM perhaps?  Unfortunately it does not seem to be very actively
developed either, and I would expect it to be less stable than
Sawfish.  Haven't tried it though.  Using SWIG for scripting support
is an interesting idea, because multiple languages can be supported.

There have been other programmable window managers such as gwm, scwm
and Kahakai, but I fear that they are all dead.
