Skia binding in vendor

Are there any plans to have skia bindings officialy supported?

Probably not. I am not a huge fan of Skia whatsoever, and think it’s kind a bad API even if it does many different backends.

What were you thinking of using it for?

I was thinking of using it for a custom gui because it has nice text rendering and vector graphics.

Another option that you might consider is Blend2D. https://blend2d.com When I was considering whether to use cairo or something else, Blend2D looked like a good option. Faster than cairo and skia if you can believe their posted performance charts. My priorities shifted though, and I never ended up using it so I don’t know if it was actually any good in practice. Would be curious if anyone has any experience.

I 100% recommend you do not use it for GUI.
