The list of "recommended reading" from one of the issues looks great:

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++

It would be interesting to compile to WASM to compare side by side for performance and accuracy.

vibe-coded?
nicoburns [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Most likely not seeing as the commit containing the bulk of the implementation dropped in 2022.

maybe just the README then
flowerbreeze [3 hidden]5 mins ago
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.

A lot of risks compared to what? I imagine bugs in kernel drivers or disk utilities be riskier.

Such as?

Yes.
