Linux OpenGL bindings: glium?

community
1

I have a Rust/wasm32/WebGL codebase that I need to port over to also run on the desktop (Fedora Linux + OpenGL).

On crates.io, the most popular library, by a factor of > 100x, is https://crates.io/crates/glium

However, Glium post-mortem (for many great and valid reasons) seems to suggest that glium is no longer actively maintained.

On the other hand, crates.io shows glium of having been updated in the past 9 days.

Questions:

(1) is glium still actively maintined / the Rust/OpenGL bindings to use?

(2) if not, what is suggested, all I really need is just raw OpenGL calls, as I'm converting over from WebGL.

From the github repo readme:

Glium is no longer actively developed by its original author. That said, PRs are still welcome and maintenance is continued by the surrounding community.

I'm afraid I cannot help with the second question.

glow provides a minimal (unsafe) wrapper around OpenGL and WebGL.
