@floooh Do you have recommendations for tagged unions in C API?

I have a case in skribidi (styling https://github.com/memononen/Skribidi/issues/49#issuecomment-2973298601) which is a good fit for tagged union.

I did see that you reverted some union use in Sokol in a "bindgen preparations" CL way back in 2020. Smells like a minefield for language interop?

In my case I would be fine having a function for initializing the whole struct, or having a getter function to poke the specific struct out. Sort of opaque value struct :)

I have been researching and working on a text stack good part of this spring.

It is called Skribidi, and it can do bidirectional text layout, rendering and editing.

It has fairly lean dependencies and is MIT licensed.

It kinda started as a self help project trying to deal with weltschmerz and burnout. I needed something the felt even mildly meaningful and complex enough that I could hyper focus on details.

Any feedback welcome!

I have been working on linear sRGB blending recently (mostly logging my progress on bsky).

I came up with this, which fixes darkening issue of direct sRGB blending, and thinning/gradient-skewing of linear sRGB blends:

I dont know exactly why it works as well as it does, but I like it. I'm sure it can be all boiled down to some offsetting and scaling and a cubic root :)

If someone has experienced the same rabbit hole, I would be interested to hear your stories.
