Window/Context creation is not the same as e.g. a GUI toolkit.
They are in fact very different.
A window/context creation library is usually within a GUI
toolkit but a GUI toolkit is never in a window/context creation
library.
If I was to compare Devisualization.Window, it would be to glfw.
We will not be agreeing on a GUI toolkit in the next couple of
years. That's ok. We should at the very minimal be able to
agree on how to create a window/context and get most types of
events.
Aurora is not intended to be a gui as far as I can tell, it is
just a graphics library, it is supposed to include window
creation as well as much more. But not gui. The plan was to build
a gui library on top of it once it was done.
It still seems like a good idea to try to get window creation now
as Aurora could take a very long time to get done(if ever) and
Aurora could use it as well.
