Maintenance and Supersession

Open lunabunn opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

This package is fully functional, but may eventually become superceded by the new x/mobile/gl plan.

Yet, over 4 years after that sentence was written, I couldn't find any updates on WebGL support being added to the golang.org/x/mobile/gl package.

Is there actually any work at all being done with that (and I just missed it), or is supersession by x/mobile/gl entirely a hypothetical?

If it's the latter, it might be about time that the README sees another update to more accurately reflect the current state of this package..?

Thanks for raising this point.

The the x/mobile/gl plan was described at https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/mobile/+/8793/4#message-feac06fc2bd0ba1b6d2390d301030415a34d8a82 and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-dev/VCFDiU6Pc8M.

While x/mobile/gl has changed, I don't think adding support for GopherJS became in scope. This package will continue to exist with its current API until further developments, but there certainly isn't active work being done or planned now.

I should update the README accordingly.
