    Yes ! I'm using ln, slowly adding textures to the default shapes it provides.

    "ln is a vector-based 3D renderer written in Go. It is used to produce 2D vector graphics (think SVGs) depicting 3D scenes" quoted from the readme. It is rough as first, due to the 'light' documentation, but I found it is a good starting point to learn Go as a beginner :)

    Thanks ! I wanted to use ln to generate 3D vector graphics, and used it as an excuse to learn a bit of Go. I'm slowly building an understanding of this lib, as well as some of go principles. For 2D plots, and 2D creative coding in general, I'm sticking with Python !

    Check out Flogleman's "ln" line art render engine. It's perfect for plotters: https://github.com/fogleman/ln I think you could have a lot of fun with it!
