This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

I recently tried a web rendering library called PixiJS, and it seemed like a pretty clean and nice-sized API, and... Source: almost 3 years ago

> it seems like Lua is already a pretty niche language Keep in mind that what we see on the internet is a vocal publicly part. Some important domains are not publicly represented. For example, in my domain CGI/VFX, Python is used all around, but lua has growth in some places. For example it is used in Guerilla[0] and Katana[1], two software related to rendering and scene management. Technically a niche, but... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
