Various Things in MetaPost (2019) (habr.com)
What is the best tool to use for drawing vector pictures? For me and probably for many others, the answer is pretty obvious: Illustrator, or, maybe, Inkscape. At least that's what I thought when I was asked to draw about eight hundred diagrams for a physics textbook.

Unintuitive optimization for performing paths union (minus-ze.ro)
I once had the task of processing whatever vector graphics the user would input into the software, and compute the contour of all shapes from that. That contour would then be sent to a printer. Most of the time users would upload vector art they made in something like Illustrator, and that art could get very complex. In this blog post I’ll take one real SVG I had to work with which consists of about 1981 paths.

Inkscape 1.4 – LWN (lwn.net)
The open-source vector-graphics editor, Inkscape, is expected to release version 1.4 in October. The release represents an evolutionary step for the program, which brings new features, user-interface improvements, new and improved file-format support, and important changes to the code base. The changes in this release should improve the user experience for both casual and professional designers, and make Inkscape more compatible with proprietary vector-graphics software, including Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer.
