No. Webreneder is a graphics renderer/library very similar to skia, however webrender is developed by mozilla, written in rust and used in firefox and servo. It basically gives emacs GPU acceleration since cairo doesn't have it II

Yes but for figjam you need to buy it separately IIRC

I know Inkscape is terrible for making diagrams, but what I am trying to say is that figma is even worse. Inkscape has at least some tools to help you create some diagrams, but figma is just for UI/UX design, not diagrams. > Not the

My point is: does figma have it? No! Figma has not a single option for diagram drawing; at least Inkscape is trying to. I am just confused about why he chose figma for this specific use case

Yet Inkscape's snapping system changes pased on where your cursor is, making fine tuned alignments much better than ANY other software. Yes, I know it is a complex system that's not very well documented, but my point still stands.

Yes I know, but mesh gradients are a part of Inkscape since at least 0.92, which is when I started using it, aka 2019.

Yeah but luckily they're switching to GTK4 AND an OpenGL renderer, meaning that it will be much snappier on both MacOS and Windows.

Yes, but what I am trying to say is that figma is not a diagramming tool. It wasn't built to create diagrams. Inkscape wasn't either, yet Inkscape still has some support for diagram creation, even if it is quite poor.

Yes but figma wasn't made for diagrams either. Both are vector design tools, not diagramming tools, that's why I am asking: if figma was okay then why not Inkscape?

I am wondering why he didn't at least try Inkscape. Since 1.0 it has gotten SO much better. It even has much better export quality compared to figma (from much more accurate gradients to strokes), and it has one of the best snapping

Yes, ok, but it is too similar to Rust: that is the problem!

Inkscape also has an experimental OpenGL backend that seems fairly stable. When I tested it, it seemed pretty stable and glitchless. I hope it will replace the Cairo backend soon, since OpenGL will give Inkscape even MORE performance!

Because honestly the syntax is kinda the same and even the points are similar: performance and safety. All problems that rust already solved. Plus Rust has a HUGE ecosystem in rapid growth, and it is quickly reaching C/C++ levels. An

Thank you for the answer. I was learning assembly and after trying it out on Linux x86_64 I tried on Windows but I got very confused from the lack of syscall docs, so after searching I got to such conclusion. Still, thanks for clearing this

Sciter is very interesting. It uses a custom rendering engine with a custom fork of QuickJS. Extremely lightweight and fast. Quite a nice project honestly.

Yeah. With each Andreas Kling browser hacking video Ladybird becomes either faster or more bugfixed. Still unstable and a bit slower than servo, but Geez it render Discord! (Kinda. They're working on it)

Well, it depends on what you define by passing a pointer. Is the pointer mutable (needs to modify the data it is pointing at?) or immutable? Is it a reference ("guaranteed" pointer?) Or just a plain old pointer? ( const T and mut

I am no expert but recently I found out that windows syscalls are a complete mistery. They're almost never mentioned in the official docs and with each update they can shift their position. I've found out a reverse engineered vers

Yeah. If you don't like colors just diable them from the terminal.
