FAQ

Why is this written in C?

  • Most portable language
    Almost every other language has support to integrate C code in one way or another. Especially since it's available a single file that can be vendored into your project.

  • Lot of existing code
    C and C++ are the most widely used languages for image processing. So there is a lot of existing code that can be reused and adapted.

  • Great for AI powered development
    As there is so much training data available, LLMs are especially good at writing C code.

Will you rewrite this in another language?

I am open to rewrite this in Rust or Zig in the future, once the advantages of C become less relevant.
