What do you mean OpenGL library support is still in alpha
quality? There's several high quality ports of the OpenGL headers
and they work like a charm. I've had no problems.
Using the GC is fine as long as you aren't allocating every
frame. I use GC allocation for all my big systems and anything
that isn't created or destroyed during gameplay. It's very
convenient for that kind of thing and you can just let the GC run
at the end of a level or something.
