Should raw library bindings drop the namespace prefix?
5 projects | /r/haskell | 11 Dec 2022

For context, I have written complete bindings to five different C libraries (freetype2, libvorbis, libspng, al, Chipmunk2D) and the question in the title may very well be the last one I have concerning FFI for quite some time. The question originates from the fact that chiphunk strips prefixes, something no other low-level library I've seen does.

You probably want to use something canvas-like, maybe this: https://github.com/alibaba/GCanvas
Is anyone using react-native-gcanvas in production?
2 projects | /r/reactnative | 6 Aug 2021

Hi. A comment here pointed me towards this library recently. It looks like alibaba re-created the javascript canvas for use on many platforms. It looks like it was forked when they dropped explicit support for react-native.
