While the author doesn't seem to be aware of state of the art in the field, vector rendering is absolute NOT a solved problem whether on CPU or GPU.

Vello by Raph Levien seems to be a nice combination of what is required to pull this off on GPUs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sv8K190Zps

Yeah, I have high hopes for Vello to take off. I could throw away lots of hacks and caching and whatnot if I could do fast vector rendering reliable on the GPU.

I think Rive also does vector rendering on the GPU

But it is not really meant (yet?) as a general graphics libary, but just a renderer for the rive design tools.
