A clarification: Druid proper uses the text layout capabilities of the platform (DirectWrite on Windows, Core Text on macOS, and Pango on Linux), while Xilem does indeed use Parley. Lapce uses a fork of Druid that, as parent states, uses Parley for text layout.

It does look like a very good year coming up! I'm writing a reflection/wishes post as we speak.
