I know, I have seen his site.
The PostScript graphics model has long been superseded by worthy
successors, like Cairo. I did my own Python binding for Cairo
<
https://gitlab.com/ldo/qahirah>, which adds things like vectors, matrices
and colours as first-class objects--beyond what Cairo itself, as a C-
language-based library, can do.
What I am interested in here is the PostScript language itself, and how it
can be modernized.
