openal-rs VS rust-sdl2

A while back I was trying to use OpenAL for a game project and found frustration with the lack of usable bindings. There was of course [alto](https://https://crates.io/crates/alto), but it’s been unmaintained for about 3 years and was on it’s way out the door due to dependency on parking_lot. I just recently renovated this bindings crate I made and (hopefully) made it safer. Not sure how well it actually works outside my own use case. Still new to actually publishing crates. Enjoy!

That may work, but I haven't tried it since its LGPL licence. I'm using the alto crate and now that I've checked its repository is archived https://github.com/jpernst/alto

I don't think that SDL and WGPU are really comparable. You'd be better off comparing SDL to something like Notan or even the SDL bindings for Rust. That said, SDL will have vastly more learning resources than Wgpu or Notan or any Rust alternative. If you know and like rust you can probably use the resources with the Rust SDL bindings.

Those are 3 very different libraries. Are you looking for something in the middle, or do you want all of the features you described? For what it's worth, there's SLD2 bindings for Rust https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2

There's already a Rust binding for SDL2. See https://crates.io/crates/sdl2

nope. https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2/issues/884 emscripten target won't work yet either.

it seems like what you are looking for is sdl2 bindings

Dude. It's literally at most 50 lines of code, the entire project. What kind of documentation do you expect me to write? The library I'm using is this one. I don't know why you'd need to know anything about it since it's purely something that can appear literally anywhere, it's part of the language.

*and* SDL2-sys *and* Rust-SDL2

The SDL2 crate had something like this, and it's an option I'm considering. However, if possible, I'd prefer a different, simpler GUI library, so if there's an input-specialized crate out there that does this, I'd love it.
