Isn't Cosmic based on Gnome? If yes, at least they did a service to enable the Cosmic DE.

They take some aesthetic inspiration from Gnome, but Cosmic inherits none of its code since it's being written in Rust.

Oh good, another toolkit that won't have usable bindings for less popular languages, meaning another toolkit that I won't be able/willing to use.

The new Cosmic is written from scratch in Rust with the iced GUI library.

Good to know. I was going of a sibling comment with a link to their Github repo, in which Cosmic is described as a Gnome skin.
