CairusA reimplementation of the Cairo vector graphics library in Rust

The Cairus TeamAnswer the question, “Why are we the ones to solve the problem we identified?”

What is Cairo? A 2D vector graphics library written in C

Includes functions for strokes, filling Bezier splines, compositing and antialiasing

Used in all graphics of Firefox and GTK; rendering in WebKit, and many others

Experimental backend for OpenGl

Why Rust?

- Thread Safe- No Segmentation Faults- No Garbage Collector- Type Inference- Cargo Build

System/Package Manager- Strives for “Abstraction

without Overhead”

Who is this for?a few rust projects are already using a cairo binding

what if they had a native implementation?
