Would the Java APIs be something to copy? I believe they have had cross-platform graphics classes for a long time.

- zozbot234 7y agoUm, I can think of some folks who got in a bit of legal trouble for (allegedly) ripping off the Java API. I don't think you'd want to do that!
- andybak 7y agoThis comment has made me sad about that stupid, stupid verdict all over again.
- usrusr 7y agoJava has been immensely successful and carefully modernized for decades, but none of that is true for its graphics APIs.
- pjmlp 7y agoIt looks quite modern to me, specially given what some people are fighting to get into ISO C++, or what other languages offer on their standard libraries.
- Jasper_ 7y ago... don't remind me of that proposal, lol. I think it's finally dead, and admitted it was a complete and utter failure of LEWG to let it get as far as it did [0]. Unfortunately, we now have "diet graphics", which consists of stuffing WebKit into C++ and calling it a day [1], so, looking forward to where that goes!
