Yes, it is because they cut corners and make good use of special

Yeah, that leaves a lot of headroom to play with. Do you think
there is a market for a x86 CPU software renderer though?
Or do you plan on

Do you plan to create a web browser based on your framework?
No, I don't see any business model behind a web browser...

Hi everyone,
at DConf one common concern raised was that it's hard to track

also hard for interested contributors to find such projects and

That's true, but responsive grids are pretty unusal.

Then it isn't specific to games, or particularly relevant to
