In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.
Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.
@bpteague Has an excellent update solution as of February 2025 using modern tools and an updated workflow.
This gist will remain here, but is deprecated. I'll keep it here historical and link-preservation purposes only. I strongly encourage everyone to check out the solution above!
