Hello Just a note about the future of Mesa:
It is likely that optimizing Mesa will lead you (Marek) to consider generative programming some years into the future: Optimal code is basically a form of efficient adaptation to current circumstances. Generating the optimal code by hand can be inefficient/tedious and it might be possible to generate some of it by a program. The generator reads in C/C++/other code&data and outputs optimized C/C++ code containing the necessary guards, data parsers, specialized data structures, etc. The machine-generated code can be an order of magnitude larger than the input to the generator - which is one of the main reasons generative programming increases programmer productivity in the long term. The generator itself can be written in any programming language you prefer (although personally I only recommend a compiled language with static types).
