Re: Bezier-rs – algorithms for Bézier segments and shapes
#2I'm hoping to code Bezier animation in OCaml/F# in four dimensional space time, with a moving vantage point. Offload rendering each time slice frame to worker threads.
I'm surprised Bezier-rs is all about curves. Sure, fonts, but I can't be alone here in seeing curves as a special case.
It's easy as a pure mathematician to write off Bezier theory as "specialized" but it's simply the right way to work with polynomials on a simplex.

#3Is the documentation using the library itself for visualizations?

#4Very neat. I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there any way to get n equidistant points on the curve?
E.g. for moving an object at constant speed along the curve.

There is indeed: Bezier::compute_lookup_table[1]. You'll want to use a `TValueType` of `Euclidean` to get equidistant points.

#6Great example, this is the kind of stuff that we could make use of interactive documents for, and not bend them into applications.

Yep, WASM

#10Almost even more interesting is the Bezier Boolean-Operations lib they use (it’s a rewrite of Pathbool.js (https://github.com/r-flash/PathBool.js) in Rust)

There’s not a ton of robust curve boolean libs out there that aren’t just part of some huge package of tools. This is the only one I know of that isn’t Js.
