HarfBuzz is more complete (supports more scripts) and higher performance (we assume, haven't benchmarked yet), but the large C++ codebase can be a little intimidating to dive into. We plan to extend Allsorts to reach feature parity with HarfBuzz, so it will be an interesting comparison of tackling a complex problem in Rust!
