Show HN: I built a tool to generate triangulated art from images

This looks cool. It reminds me a lot of Primitive Pictures[0], coincidentally also written in Go, which supports other shapes besides triangles as well.

Thanks! One main difference from Primitive is that Primitive's shapes can overlap, while Triangula generates a triangulation.

IMO both are cool but your method is way cooler!

Also check out my web app Boxy SVG [1] which integrates both vectorization algorithms as "Triangulate" and "Primitivize" generators [2].

I'm not familiar with Go, but is there anything in the language which makes it a particularly good fit for this type of problem?

Not particularly, but Go is fast, compiles to small binaries, and supports multithreading with coroutines which works well for genetic algorithms.
