Much of it is dictated by the programming languages used and compiler support.
For this reason, it would be dangerous to start using exotic-but-shiny
languages like Rust, which have poor platform support. As C++ has such broad
support, there has not really been a need to give much thought to who is
'responsible' for which platform in the LibreOffice ecosystem. In the case we
decided to use an exotic language while wanting to maintain the same level of
support, suddenly an order of magnitude more investment would have to appear
for upstream platform support of said language.
