How are you handling data update? Last I checked, Arrow and similar systems had extremely poor performance if you needed to mutate data at even modest rates.

Annoyingly, everything is converging to C++-ish via Slang now that DirectX supports SPIR-V. OpenCL and GLSL might as well be dead given the vast difference in development resources between them and HLSL/Slang. Slang is effectively HLS

Update since can't edit: Nope. Sadly. Instant dialog box focus problems from kwin_wayland. I switched to kwin_x11 (which KDE doesn't want you to use) and the problems all go away.

Erm, what do you want to learn? Wayland dates to 2008--Vulkan dates to 2016. That's an EON in tech. Wayland chose "we will control the compositing to avoid all tearing". This is suboptimal nowadays with monitors with mul
