Rthat is a good thing
Kit's very hard to benchmark, as most libs either don't provide the good overloading we do, so a comparison is unecessary, or they have them and don't care for performance so a comparison makes no sense
EOh, I just meant comparing in general. Doesn't have to be tied to a specific library. Like a unit test for performance, I guess.
Li mean it's easy to beat monogame spritebatch lol
EThat'd just be oriented around unsafe features and how C#/.NET affects their speed.
KYeah the comparison with ourselfs is interesting for sure
L(1kfps -> 3 sometimes 4k fps when i moved type silk)
EI'm not sure I have seen much if any improvement to the interop side of .NET lately, but they definitely seem to have a focus on improving performance since .NET 5.
Ai could try some performance comparisons, since i ported mine recently the opentk implementation of my engine is still relatively up to date.
not too much i could test though, i guess just some model rendering performance and the sprite batching performance averages

MI am trying to use Silk.Net.OpenCL from LinqPad 5 (which targets .NET Framework), so I assume it's pulling in the NetStandard2.0 version. It seems to work fine for the GetPlatformIDs and GetPlatformInfo calls, but hangs when it gets to the GetDeviceIDs call. Any thoughts on why it's hanging?
Ndoes GLFW work with macos?
Nive been getting strange errors on window surface creation lately
Nim using vulkan by the way
Lyes
Lvk is not supported on mac unless you use MoltenVK
NI know, I have it
NI don't know why but:
NNIs there anywhere I can check what the error code is?
POpenCL is very broken at the moment. I’m currently working on a fix, but I’m not on this project anymore so I’m going as fast as I can outside of that.
CIs anyone else experiencing lag on mouse click? the other events work as expected it's just click that lags for 1 sec.
Li dont have that
C@baebey I forgot to mention I run linux
CI gotta try this on windows
Li also run linux
Linfact i only test on linux
RBut windows :(
Land?
Li dont own a windows machine
Land have no reason to
RBut Microsoft needs your money
R:(
FAnd your data
CYeah, I've just tested on windows and it's the same, different computer
RYes
YWhy do Silk.NET needs ConcurrentDictionary of string arrays?
RWhy do you say it does?
RThat is a very broad question
RIt could be that the person in question is implementing a hash table with buckets and it needs to be thread safe
YSeems SilkMarshal needs to caches these 
YI'm just curious about the design
KThere are three concurrent dictionaries to track different GC handles. This is done to keep memory around that is passed to native. In newer .NET versions this can be handled better, but we still support some old versions and use this method
RIn silk 3.0 it can probably just be done the newer modern way
R(he is talking about framework)
R(Maybe core3.1)
YHmm, I thought if you just pass in a string you just do something like
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes or somethingYAnd then pass those bytes to OpenGL
RYeah
RThe question is what happens if you have a string back?
RThat results in a lot of unnecessary copying as well which is also slow
