The update we all want but will never get
my guess for why renderdragon made performance worse is because old bedrock was built on bgfx which is a layer of abstraction ontop of a bunch of graphics apis which benefits the programmer because they can write the graphics code once and use it on a bunch of graphics apis (just like java! i heart cross compatibility)
now, java is actually quite a performant language and even if its not most of the performance bugs in mc are due to it being single threaded, inefficient chunk generation and optimizing, and it built ontop of opengl WHICH isn't much of a performance hit but its still ehh idk it doesn't matter that much (NOW SWITCHING THE GAME TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GRAPHICS API WOULD SUCK ASS TO DO (and vulkan is quite verbose :))) (AND also bgfx would probably be better due to it being an abstraction layer ontop of all the graphics apis so minecraft could target many depending on your platform (and also bedrock used to (or still does i dont know) use bgfx before they switched to just two (IF IM READING MC WIKI RIGHT BECAUSE IM NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF THEY USE BGFX STILL ?? SO THEY COULD STILL BE TARGETING MULTIPLE YET THEY JUST WROTE THEIR NEW SHIT BAD IDK))

GUI frameworks for an SDL-based roguelike?
We use a lot of software used by big companies. :) Git and C++ come to mind. But as far I see on their software list there are one or two roguelikes. Also, bgfx uses ImGUI under the hood, so it is a good place to see how it can look or even use it instead of just ImGUI.

Best C++ Game Framework
I think if you're not going to use an existing game engine, it makes sense to learn OpenGL and implement things yourself, or use something with the explicit goal of being a rendering abstraction like bgfx. It's more of a time commitment though, and sfml is much simpler and easier to get started with.

Just found out about Zig and wonder what would be the best graphics library to pair with it?
If you want juste a renderer, you can use BGFX, there is a zig binding that is not a third party.

Cross platform low level graphics API suitable for game development?
Take a look at BGFX, sounds like its what you want. Its a cross platform graphics API that is low level like metal or opengl, however it treats opengl, metal, vulkan, etc as backends that u can compile to so you can write your code once and then compile to macos using metal as the backend, compile to web using webgl as the backend, compile for windows using directx as the backend etc etc. Its written in C++ but it has officially supported C bindings so you can use it with C no problem.
