A lot of stuff.
The author is quite opinionated against ConTeXt/LuaTeX, knows only the HarfBuzz version and can’t appreciate an independent, complete OpenType renderer, it seems. Hraban

The author is quite opinionated against ConTeXt/LuaTeX, knows only the HarfBuzz version and can’t appreciate an independent, complete OpenType renderer, it seems. 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.
