Yeah, but who contributed the most to Black Mesa?

Not Valve, they were busy working on HL3.

TIL that Mesa is older than I thought. Initial release in February 1995 apparently. Very cool

For a long time it was just a software implementation of OpenGL. It’s grown into a completely different beast.

Talk about feature creep!

1000+ commits a month is insane throughput. These folks are doing the good work.

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.
