       ive come to realize that opengl's "giant global state machine" model of the world is REALLY hard to fit into rust's RAII/ownership model and it fucken sucks

       @iitalics@cybre.space yeah rust /really/ hates globals, which is, y'know, justified

       @alexandra discouraging globals is pretty great when you actually have a say in the matter..

       so i'm considering just. enforcing that only one opengl context can exist during program execution and if you've set it up once you aren't allowed to tear it dowdn
