I am sure you are having a lot of fun with Penrose, building and even more understanding the low level details of a window manager. I completely get that this learning could be an end in itself instead of a means to an end. I am just curious if you found anything lacking in existing window managers (not that I have tried anything other than Xmonad) that you need Penrose for. Have fun!
I would say the limitations are more in myself than in other window managers/compositors. Rust is the only non-JVM language I have meaningful experience with. I found Penrose while searching for a DWM-like manager written in Rust instead of C. I'm actually still using DWM at the moment but I plan on revisiting my Penrose project to add some polish and incorporate it into my NixOs configuration.
