+
+A lot has happened since the [last blog post](2021-04-09-the-state-of-whirl.md).
+
+## What has happened
+
+For starters, the Go rewrite which was previously mentioned has been scraped for now. A complete
+rewrite has been performed *once again* in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) -- the original plan.
+
+I will soon be publishing the current (rewrite) source of Whirl within the
+[official GitHub repository](https://github.com/Whirlsplash/whirl) as new development branch.
+
+## Issues that remain
+
+There are still few issues which are present such as a known issue where the client is not properly
+transferred over to the Hub (RoomServer) when it is finished communicating with the Distributor
+(AutoServer). This issue is only apparent about 50% of the time but it is still of high priority.
+You can find it's corresponding GitHub issue [here](https://github.com/whirlsplash/whirl/issues/2).
+
+## But does it work ?
+
+Despite these setbacks, issues, et cetera, the implementation is functional as you can see in the
+image below.
+
+<img src="/img/blog/2021-04-21-progress-is-progress/ss-client-connected-to-server.png"
+  alt="Client connected to server"
+  width="100%" />
+
+The Distributor (AutoServer) is close to 95% functionality (compared to the official servers), where
+as the Hub (RoomServer) is estimated to be at ~5 - ~10% functionality.
+
+## Plan (s) going on
+
+In the following weeks, focus will be aimed at (priority as follows);
+
+1. Fixing the Distributor to Hub transfer [issue](https://github.com/whirlsplash/whirl/issues/2)
+2. Implementing more of the Hub's known features
+    - No specifics, features will be implemented as I see fit and will be based mostly off of their
+      priority in the functionality of the Hub (RoomServer).
+
+      E.g., is "a" needed for "b" to work? is "c" important right now?
