resvg VS rust

I've seen resvg as a potential pick, but it feels huge and seems to be importing skia, which itself is a whole rendering engine. Furthermore, I have no idea if I can pass my own 2D buffer to resvg and let it draw to it.

For example, when converting vector SVG images to raster PNG images with resvg, most of the time is spent compressing the PNG image. This is a lot of wasted work if we just want to read the image instead of transferring it over the network! The fast compression mode eliminates all this wasted work, resulting in huge performance and efficiency gains.

Just as a point of reference, I have a ~75KLOC project (includes dependencies) called resvg which takes just 4s in the debug mode and 8s in the release mode to build on M1 Pro.

resvg is very fast, although the performance depends on the exact SVG you feed it - sometimes faster than librsvg, sometimes slower (although librsvg is also written in Rust now, it does use unsafe while resvg doesn't)

So I am absolutely clueless about Rust and just installed it an hour ago to use this tool called "usvg" https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg/tree/master/usvg

So, all you gotta do is rewrite the parsers. Funny you mention librsvg because there is a library called resvg that has a thumbnailer implementation for Windows Explorer. https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg

> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.

Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Almost fixed the compiler: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123325

Rust: A secure, efficient, and modern programming language (omitting ten thousand words). You can simply follow the installation instructions provided on the official website.

Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.

To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/

We strongly believe in Rust as a powerful language for building production-grade software, especially for systems like ours that run alongside Kubernetes.

The above Assert<{N % 2 == 1}> requires #![feature(generic_const_exprs)] and the nightly toolchain. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76560 for more info.

Another week, another dive into Rust. This time, we're delving into structs. Structs bear resemblance to interfaces in TypeScript, enabling the grouping of intricate data sets within an object, much like TypeScript/JavaScript. Rust also accommodates functions within these structs, offering a semblance of classes, albeit with distinctions. Let's delve into this topic.
