Introducing Galileo: general purpose rust library for map rendering

Hello, rusteceans. I'm happy to present to you a project I've been working on for the last couple of months:

https://github.com/Maximkaaa/galileo

This is WGPU powered cross-platform general purpose map rendering library. It is still a baby but it already can:

  • render millions of features with 60 FPS
  • show raster and vector tiles, and random geo-objects
  • use different GIS projections
  • apply flexible styling
  • react to user interactions
  • handle errors with a lot of unwraps (for now ;-P)

If you know someone who you think can benefit from such a library (when it's ready for real use), please let me (and them) know :).
