Hi all, I'd like to ask what is your opinion on this library[1].
It's a library where you call all the draw operations that comprise the drawing pipeline, and, when you call `context_end`, the pipeline is compiled (yep, JIT). Somehow exciting because it allows very interesting optimizations. But it's also boring, because you have to recompile the whole pipeline every time some value changes (i.e. probably every frame if you're writing a game). But there is also plans to support a shader language (with a working experimental code for a useless math functions language). With this support added, you could compile the rendering pipeline only once and evaluate it for every frame. The thing I like is support for Bézier curves. It's like OpenGL done for 2D rendering. The API seems a lot like cairo, so it's mostly transparent (except for the shaders). Maybe EFL could add a backend forked from SDL2 using this library to generate the screen bits. Or maybe there is not enough info flowing the higher layers to the lower layers to make this idea actually useful. Maybe some of these ideas could be stolen by the EFL project. I'd like to hear opinion from you guys about this project. You guys are experienced with 2d gfx code and I'd love to hear anything you guys have to say about this project.
