softbuffer
Softbuffer integrates with the raw-window-handle crate to allow writing to a window in a cross-platform way while using the very high quality dedicated window management libraries that are available in the Rust ecosystem. (by rust-windowing)

How do rust gui frameworks avoid rerendering?
On a more recent machine, that same (well, more primitive) app with pixels or softbuffer struggled beyond acceptable. But was definitely poorly written.

Minimal 2D library for games? I'm struggling a bit to settle on one to learn.
I'm using winit and softbuffer for my CurrentProject™.

Which OpenGL crate should I use?
Another annoyance is that it's not possible to have flicker-free resizing with wgpu without completely killing the performance. OTOH, softbuffer resizing never flickers.

What 2D graphics library would you most recommend?
Why not minifb or softbuffer (which lets you use winit)?

Rust's Option and Result. In Python.
machine learning, neural networks, image processing, cryptography (though it is getting better), font shaping/rendering (though it is getting better), CPU/software rendering (though it is getting better)

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (24/2022)!
I have decided that wgpu is not worth it, and gone to softbuffer, which does not stretch, and works a whole lot better. Downside: no GPU and no scaling support.
