Xilem Vector Graphics (Rust meetup talk)

What's the status of Vello? Will we see a stable version by the end of the year?

Also, it'd be interesting to see how it stacks up against the new Rive renderer, which also seems to be promising in bringing vector graphics to the GPU workspace.

Vello is progressing well, it's most of what I spend my time on these days. I can't promise a date for a stable version, but I would say that for the most part we're on our roadmap.

I'm also interested in quantitative comparisons with the Rive renderer. My personal feeling is that the compute shader approach is more scalable than pixel local storage, but the latter does seem to perform nicely especially on Apple Silicon GPUs.

That's fantastic to hear! Really looking forward to it.
