Nice.

Sokol is cool, Odin is cool, Odin bindings for Sokol are epic.

I have been having a good time with SDL3 GPU, but I do intend at some point to give Sokol a go.

Extremely cool ‘shading language’ for Three.js, which honestly is more of a JavaScript amalgamation which lets stuff like this be possible:

const posY = uniform( 0 ); // it's possible use uniform( 'number' )

// or using event to be done automatically
// { object } will be the current rendering object
posY.onObjectUpdate( ( { object } ) => object.position.y );

material.colorNode = posY;

Very cool API.
