The list of "recommended reading" from one of the issues looks great:
https://github.com/a-e-k/canvas_ity/issues/11#issuecomment-2...
The project is great. The HN comments are embarrassing. Isn’t it ironic to imply laziness by chiming in with “vibe coded” which in itself is such a lazy reaction.
Thank you for sharing. The only thing I don't understand why this is a header only implementation with a macro that goes in a C++ file.
#define CANVAS_ITY_IMPLEMENTATION
that's a common pattern in C++ land because there is no standard way to use libraries in C++
https://github.com/p-ranav/awesome-hpp
It would be interesting to compile to WASM to compare side by side for performance and accuracy.
vibe-coded?
Most likely not seeing as the commit containing the bulk of the implementation dropped in 2022.
maybe just the README then
The README is older than ChatGPT too. It's very unlikely that it's vibe coded or vibe written.
Would that be an issue?
Yes, it's a canvas library, there's a lot of risks of including AI generated code that hasn't been checked in a rasterizing library.
Such as?
A lot of risks compared to what? I imagine bugs in kernel drivers or disk utilities be riskier.
Yes.
