The article introduces Skia Graphite, Chrome's new rasterization backend designed to improve performance by leveraging modern graphics APIs and multithreading. Graphite addresses limitations of the previous backend, Ganesh, by reducing technical debt and enabling features like depth testing for 2D graphics. Early results show significant performance gains, including a 15% improvement in Motionmark 1.3 scores on Macbook Pro M3.
Key Points:
Skia Graphite is Chrome's new rasterization backend, developed to overcome the limitations of Ganesh and take advantage of modern graphics APIs like Metal, Vulkan, and D3D12.
Graphite's design reduces technical debt by having fewer and more comprehensible code paths, enabling better utilization of multithreading and GPU compute capabilities.
The new backend introduces depth testing for 2D graphics, reducing overdraw and improving performance, especially on mobile devices.
Early performance metrics show a 15% improvement in Motionmark 1.3 scores and better real-world metrics like INP, LCP, and graphics smoothness.
Graphite uses Chrome's WebGPU implementation, Dawn, as an abstraction layer for platform-native graphics APIs, reducing long-term maintenance burdens.
"Graphite extends Skia’s GPU rendering to take advantage of the depth test by assigning each “draw” a z value defining its painter’s ordering index. While transparent effects and images must still be drawn from back to front, opaque objects in the foreground can now automatically eliminate overdraw."

The article explores the origin of the term 'calling' functions in programming, tracing it back to the concept of 'calling for' subroutines from a library, akin to summoning a book from a closed-stack library. It highlights historical references, including Melvil Dewey's library science terminology and early computing literature, to explain the metaphor.
Key Points:
The term 'calling' functions likely originates from the idea of 'calling for' subroutines from a library, similar to requesting a book in a closed-stack library.
Historical references, such as Melvil Dewey's 'call number' in library science, provide context for the term's usage.
Early computing literature, like John W. Mauchly's 1947 article, uses 'call' to describe summoning subroutines from a 'library' of stored routines.
The MANIAC II assembly routine manual (1956) further solidifies the library metaphor by using 'call numbers' for subroutines.
The metaphor emphasizes the ease and standardization of accessing reusable code segments.
"The true answer seems to be the middle one — 'calling' as in 'calling up, summoning' — but indirectly, originating in the notion of 'calling for' a subroutine out of a library of subroutines in the same way that we’d 'call for' a book out of a closed-stack library of books."
Perl 5.42 has been released, continuing the language's resilience with new features and improvements. Key updates include full Unicode 16 support, enhanced OOP capabilities with proper setters and private methods, and new list processing operators. The release also addresses legacy issues like the deprecated use of apostrophes as package separators.
Key Points:
Full support for Unicode 16, including new characters and emojis, with integration into regular expressions.
Enhanced OOP features with proper setters (:writer) and truly private methods using the 'my' keyword.
New list processing operators :any and :all, now part of the core as experimental features.
Legacy feature of using apostrophes as package separators is deprecated due to ambiguity issues.
"Perl is still going after all those years, alive, kicking and making releases. Business as usual."
