You're comparing completely incomparable tasks. JWZ did nothing but write a thin wrapper. The committee didn't omit such a wrapper because they couldn't accomplish it, they ommitted it as a deliberate design decision.

Exactly. Forcing every embedded device that wants to do portable 3D to include megabytes of wrappers for over a decade of cruft wasn't worth it, when the alternative is people having to spend a few days' time if they can't find a suitable shim already written somewhere.

It took NASA several decades to build a rocket to the moon, I build a Diet Code & Menthos rocket in 30 minutes. Guess I'm 1000 times the space scientist those moron at NASA are rollseyes.
