Entering a new era when something written in rust can be on HN without saying "written in Rust".

Entering a new era when something written in rust can be on HN without saying "written in Rust".
- pjerem 5y agoI’m glad you commented so I can know it’s written in Rust :D
- jeroenhd 5y agoYou're not wrong, but every time someone omits "written in Rust", someone comments about how great it is that people don't add that to the title anymore.
- recuter 5y agoHonestly, 3D model file thumbnails would require some sweet performant code so we all just assumed this was written in Rust anyway ;)
- gfxgirl 5y agowell, not really. you load the data and pass it to the GPU. There's no real work to do on the CPU. I'm not saying it's trivial to write a viewer but to doesn't require performant code. I've written a GLTF viewer in JavaScript. You parse the JSON, pass the data to the GPU, apply shaders. It requires knowledge of how to render 3D and PBR but it's a day or 2 project to get working if you know the topic and no part of it requires any perf.
- recuter 5y agoSo you're saying this could only properly be done with Rust. Hear, hear.
