What's cool about this is that computers are so fast that you could probably make a decent 2D game using only this software-rendered OpenGL 1.1 library.

Imagine what it could do with modern SIMD and many cores. Won't come close to dGPU, but still...

Just run it on an EPYC 9965 and you have a not insignificant amount of cores for parallel computing.
