FreeType renders glyphs from fonts. HarfBuzz determines what glyphs you want to render & how to position them. The latter can be very complicated and language-dependent.
I am sure you know this (and likely better than I do), but for other readers… Rust is much more secure than C++ by default, so a lot of core system libraries are moving to Rust. There are also other advantages for maintenance and stability (though gosh, is compile time ever slower for Rust!).
