Why are people trying to turn C++ into python, complete with it&#x27;s legacy useless cross platform UI library (ktinker).<p>We <i>know</i> from experience that this is a bad idea, and a waste of everyones time.<p>Build your application layer logic <i>onto</i> of a robust module ecosystem, don&#x27;t try to bake it into the standard library.<p>...but even if you were to say, want to do this, this is a horrible legacy api before it even exists!<p>Hard coded color constants? (antique_white? alice_blue? Are you kidding me?)<p>Font support, including (presumably) true type font parsing?<p>Brushes and gradients?<p>No mention in the whole document are programmable graphics pipeline? (ie. shaders)<p>No mention of device independent output scaling?<p>Maybe we can just fork inkscape and put it into the standard library?<p>I know this sounds harsh, but have the authors of this proposal actually built anything using a 2D graphics api recently?<p>This is a high level 2D vector graphics day dream.
