I'm hoping to code Bezier animation in OCaml/F# in four dimensional space time, with a moving vantage point. Offload rendering each time slice frame to worker threads.

I'm surprised Bezier-rs is all about curves. Sure, fonts, but I can't be alone here in seeing curves as a special case.

It's easy as a pure mathematician to write off Bezier theory as "specialized" but it's simply the right way to work with polynomials on a simplex.

Very neat. I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there any way to get n equidistant points on the curve?

E.g. for moving an object at constant speed along the curve.

There is indeed: Bezier::compute_lookup_table[1]. You'll want to use a `TValueType` of `Euclidean` to get equidistant points.

Is the documentation using the library itself for visualizations?
