Funding

• I cannot continue developing open-source software without funding.
• The largest organizations using AsmJit or Blend2D are playing possum.
• This is a clear message to me that these projects don't need further development.

• AsmJit started as a way to explore JIT compilation at a time when no universal and complete solution existed. Most JIT compilers of that time implemented only a limited ISA, which was not suitable for other projects. AsmJit went with a different approach - implementing a full ISA so it can be used universally across projects and adding a register allocator to make JIT code generation fun and JIT compilers quick to develop.
• Blend2D started initially as an experiment to generate 2D rendering pipelines on-the-fly, motivated by my frustration with the performance of other libraries and by shortcomings of GPU-only renderers. Today, it's probably the fastest software-based 2D renderer, which is very difficult to beat even by very experienced developers.

A Drop in the Ocean

To date, only one company, Shiguredo Inc., has chosen to consistently support the software they rely on. I am sincerely grateful for their long-term support. They are a model of how the ecosystem should function. However, it's not reasonable for a small company to shoulder the responsibility alone.
