If I am not mistaken, NanoVG actually can render as by CPU (need external path rasterizer) as by GPU (OpenGL and other options). NanoVG provided Canvas.Context kind of API in plain C.

About premake5 in general. premake5 is a monolithic/portable executable that contains Lua + specific runtime. Thus it does not rely on installed Python as in GN case as other tools. Having standard and well known and documented Lua on

You can try my Sciter. On Windows it uses as Direct2D/DX11 as Skia over DX12|Vulkan|OpenGL (whatever is available). In both cases it uses GPU rendering and I see no problems with scrolling in them - 60 FPS kinetic scrolling by mouse wh

Each tool is good for particular tasks it was designed for. That's why my Sciter [1] supports both - as retained mode (DOM/CSS) as immediate mode (element.paintXXX()). Consider the task of marking some div as resizable - with eigh

Agree about virtualization in principle. Not that nightmarish though. My Sciter supports built-in virtualization out of the box. But I shall admit that this is second approach to the problem. Currently Sciter's behavior:virtual-list su

> that most of hte libraries taking a JSON document approach are wasting a lot of time/memory I agree. That's the same situation as with XML/HTML. In many cases you don't really need to build a DOM or JSOM in memory.

You can extend Sciter by native components. As purely functional (native classes and methods in JS) as visual (custom UI components).
