Isn't it possible to somehow wire this into the window manager? Wayland or whatever. Have it speak the native window lang rather than crunch the pixels? At least for the majority. I can see the appeal in pixel route given universality but wow that seems ugly on efficiency | ||

Wayland only has pixels. It was designed to get rid of all the X11 cruft. | ||

imagine, if you will, that we had a windowing system that's built on Postscript... lots of folks thought it was a super awesome idea, and built NeXTSTEP around it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_PostScript or even one based on PDF like OSX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_2D | ||
