 ## Current state
 
-At the time of writing (November 2023), AquariWM development is in early stages, with the basics of a running X11 window
-manager and Wayland compositor achieved. Work is focused on implementing the tiling layout manager design, starting with
-simply using traits for layout managers, with the goal of transitioning to use a custom protocol in the future (the
-specifics of which are yet to be decided).
+At the time of writing (December 2023), AquariWM development is in early stages, though the layout manager system is
+implemented in Rust (with the goal of transitioning to use a custom protocol in the future, the specifics of which are
+yet to be decided). @Antikyth, the only author of AquariWM at the time of writing, is working on
+[`generational-arena-tree`], a tree implementation in Rust that gives the flexibility to implement more complex features
+for tiling layouts (e.g. taking windows' minimum and maximum sizes into account). Specifically, it allows:
+- nodes to be mutated directly,
+- nodes to be iterated over mutably,
+- nodes to be split by type into separate branches (nodes that may have children) and leaves (nodes that may not have
+  children), which each have their own associated data type.
+  - This is required because, in window layouts, every branch has an orientation, and every leaf has a window. No branch
+    may have a window, and no leaf may have an orientation.
