Mac (M1/M2) 上的 Asahi Linux 支援 OpenGL ES 3.1

在「The first conformant M1 GPU driver」這邊看到 Mac (M1 系列與 M2 系列) 上的 Asahi Linux 支援 OpenGL ES 3.1 了。

文章裡面有提到，目前 macOS 上沒有業界標準介面可以用：

Unlike ours, the manufacturer’s M1 drivers are unfortunately not conformant for any standard graphics API, whether Vulkan or OpenGL or OpenGL ES. That means that there is no guarantee that applications using the standards will work on your M1/M2 (if you’re not running Linux).

也許有機會會看到有人 backport 回 macOS 上？

JavaScript 的壓縮器 esbuild

esbuild 是個 JavaScript bundler & minifier，在 GitHub 上的副標提到了重點在於速度：

An extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier

從壓縮時間可以看出來優勢：

另外從最終的檔案大小也可以看出來，與最小的 rollup + terser 組合沒有差太多：

實際拿個 jQuery 跑看看，可以看出來壓縮的效果還行：

速度主要是透過 Golang 並且平行化運算達到的：

It's written in Go, a language that compiles to native code
Parsing, printing, and source map generation are all fully parallelized
Everything is done in very few passes without expensive data transformations
Code is written with speed in mind, and tries to avoid unnecessary allocations

不過作者有提到這個專案畢竟比較新，還沒有被時間磨練過，可能會有些 bug：

This is a hobby project that I wrote over the 2019-2020 winter break. I believe that it's relatively complete and functional. However, it's brand new code and probably has a lot of bugs. It also hasn't yet been used in production by anyone. Use at your own risk.

可以先放一陣子看看，讓一些先賢先烈把比較大的 bug 踩一踩修一修...
