genny VS tiny-skia

Also of interest for people might be Genny. It’s a Nim library to automate creating language bindings for other languages. Currently it supports Python, Node, and C.

c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.

For those using Python, we just got our Python bindings for Pixie up onto pip. Repo here https://github.com/treeform/pixie-python

It's extremely fresh but our tests are working so consider giving it a try.

For those interested in Nim's meta-programming, we're generating those Python bindings for Pixie from our Nim code using https://github.com/treeform/genny here https://github.com/treeform/pixie/blob/master/bindings/bindi...

You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.

Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.

https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

How about tiny-skia?

How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.

Nice to see tiny-skia in use.
