Support some form of templating of entry points? about pyshader HOT 2 OPEN

Perhaps, if helper functions (which are being called from an entrypoint) can specify their own module-level inputs (buffers, uniforms, textures), then any templating could be done at that level. So that all what's needed is a way to reset the types of input arguments. (And perhaps some helper builtin functions to deal with vectors of varying dimension.)

Maybe you can draw some inspiration from Numba, actually.. they also translate python functions to cpu/gpu native code with a decorator and have the same issue. I believe they either compile at invocation time and read the types from the arguments and compile more type signatures as needed, or you specify the signature upfront as an argument to the decorator: https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/index.htmluser/jit.html see the example code under "eager compilation". Sadly they only support one signature in this eager mode. Nevertheless this might give you some fresh ideas 🙂
