I took a look at this "thick" binding, in hopes... It's still the state machine paradigm of OpenGL, with the matrix stacks, global state, etc. Assembler language. I wonder: could we not "rectify" this with a (truly) thick binding (without incurring significant performance penalty)? Matrices as normal objects? Maybe compatible with Ada.Real_Arrays? Impossible dream? Thanks.
