@pkal@social.sdfeu.org I wouldn't say disagreements more like miscommunication, @divyaranjan@mathstodon.xyz and @minad@mastodon.world thought Eli wanted a full drawing API from Elisp, so they were trying to work on that. Recently Eli said they don't want that, and Minad proposed a "memimage" with just basic things required.
(AFAIR of course).

@tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz I wasn't working on a full drawing API. The feature that I actually wanted to propose was a "memimage", since this enables plenty of use cases. So this was kind of a miscommunication from my side when I initially called the feature "canvas". A full drawing API could then be implemented on top. We could try multiple different APIs, since there are many different high-quality drawing libraries we could take advantage of.
