Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?
You could also take a look at the history of this repository: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz

Is There An Algorithm To How Computer Cursors Highlight Text?
harfbuzz is a popular library for text rendering. You may also want to check out rustybuzz, a small subset of harfbuzz ported to Rust with pretty great documentation.

Question: Expected webrender impact, or influence, on emacs redisplay
Use allsorts or rustbuzz for text shaping

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
Yeah Allsorts looks interesting, and rustybuzz is another option. I haven’t tried either yet, though.

Cosmic Desktop: Closing in on a Cosmic Alpha
They are both called Cosmic to make things less confusing.

How can I try out COSMIC DE?
Download the source code of the COSMIC Desktop: git clone https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic

What Desktop Environment do you use?
I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

Touchscreen gestures broken in PopOS with Wayland?
I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

[Poll] Who is still disabling the Pop COSMIC extension to get the pre-21.04 "Activities" view (combining Workspaces and the Application search)?
FWIW, I've also created a Github issue on the subject: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/386

The 'Cosmic' name also indicates that; see https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic.

If the Pop Launcher could do anything, what would you want it to do?
Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rustybuzz and cosmic you can also consider the following projects:
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
gnome-hud - Unity like HUD menu for the GNOME Desktop Environment using rofi menu.
Speedy2D - Rust library for hardware accelerated drawing of 2D shapes, images, and text, with an easy to use API.
gnome-shell-extended-gestures - Better touchpad gesture handling for GNOME
swash - Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering.
touche - The desktop application to configure Touchégg
allsorts - Font parser, shaping engine, and subsetter implemented in Rust
shell - Pop!_OS Shell
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock - Pop!_OS fork of https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/tree/ubuntu-dock
raqote - Rust 2D graphics library
dash-to-dock - A dock for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash out of the overview transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops.
