if that is the case, then it is great. I personally am a rust fan, and use a smithay based wm (niri). and that is basically a single man project, but with active community support. XFCE can pull more man power, but still feels like wasted effort. if just the lang was the choice, they could have considered cosmic wm. it is mroe heavy than xfce needs, but they would have probably had an easier time.

Xfce's lightness is sort've a major reason for it to exist, without that it would kinda just become a duplication of effort of the Cinnamon DE, IMHO.
