X11 programming: x11rb or rust-xcb ? What's the difference ?
rust-xcb and x11rb. As a bonus there is also breadx that is less popular but seems to have async support (although not sure how useful that would be).

We never know who is delusional..
Do you have a source for that or any specifics on how it "can't handle" the usecases? There's already work in Rust around fully supporting X11 (for example https://github.com/bread-graphics/breadx or https://github.com/psychon/x11rb)

Penrose 0.2.0 - a tiling window manager library
Thoughts on breadx for interfacing with X? It's not mature yet but the idea is there. Personally I think x11rb is how I'd do this from scratch. Then again, Penrose already works; no need to rewrite something if it's already as good as it is. Getting to "100% rust" it's really only a novelty goal.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing my-penrose-config and breadx you can also consider the following projects:
leftwm - A tiling window manager for Adventurers
dwl - dwm for Wayland - ARCHIVE: development has moved to Codeberg
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
x11rb - X11 bindings for the rust programming language, similar to xcb being the X11 C bindings
rust-xcb - Rust bindings and wrapper for XCB.
