Allow me a completely unbidden segue into outraged ranting about the Java OpenGL library.
Why on Earth does it keep the "gl" prefixes for all functions? It's already put all functions into their own namespace as methods of an object! C adds "gl" to the start of all OpenGL functions to avoid namespace conflicts! The fucking specs don't include the prefix! Yet still we have to suffer code like "gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLES);" in Java. What the fuck?
