feature availability (depending on context you created, some functions
may be availabale, some not).
And it contains a lot of extensions (over 3000 OpenGL functions), up
to version 3.1 , because all functions are automatically generated
from specs taken from
official source.
A future versions of OpenGL is easy to use: you just regenerate
sources from specs.
I also plan to integrate it with JIT, so when you invoking a method
with native code, it will just run this code without extra checks and
popping out of 'jit' mode.
It seems to me that besides the marshalling part, everything can/could be
done with FFI too. Am I right?
