This project certainly seems promising, although I’m rather
worried about how many classes there are with almost no data—so
many allocations for what could just be a struct with function
pointers, no? That’s how FreeType does ‘inheritance’ in pure C.
Anyway, at this stage, how difficult is it to make a custom Fluid
backend? (e.g. SDL2 for input or a different renderer)
Also does this project have proper text layout support? I noticed
there’s a dependency on FreeType; but FreeType doesn’t do layout,
only rendering. I’m about to release
[BindBC-Pango](https://github.com/BindBC/bindbc-pango) if you
need a text layout engine. They’re absolutely imperative for
acceptable internationalisation support.
