Different worlds, different audiences, different objectives so a waste
of energy to discuss i guess.
I can only say that when we started with luatex there was nothing that
fit the requirements (oriental tex sub project) so we decided to go the
lua route and could always be amopng the first to support new stuff
(color fonts, variable fonts, adaptations, etc). And I'm not even taling
math in luametatex here.
But as said: we serve a different audience, not the applications and of
course the tex community doesn't have the big-tech funding and resources
so ... and we try to keep a low profile anyway.
