HN comment orderI love how philosophy-driven this library is. Most graphics libraries work upwards from whatever primitives the platform provides—Pts pushes its concept of geometry downwards onto the platform instead. The result is artistically coherent, not just visually, but all the way through to the code itself. Really great work!
