    IMHO, the poor current state of 2D vector graphics rendering is the elephant in the room that too many people focused on app perf ignore.

        I guess it’s because UI/vector graphics is hard and the big players are all invested in their legacy codebases, so they put off the work.

        This has been on my mind every so often and seems like such a complete oversight. It’s kind of stunning.

        On the flip side, one person’s oversight is another person’s opportunity :)

        Indeed. Big opportunity. It’s why I’ve been developing VectorGL to fill this void.

        I agree. For our HTML rendering middleware we wrote a new library. No other way to get submillisecond on consoles/mobile.
