 * number of public api calls is kept at the minimum
 * procedure signatures can only use basic types, no aggregates, with exception of Vec/Matrix types and alike,

+* optionals can be expressed via pointer passage of value primitives, with NULL expressive default, but they should be immutable

 one of main inspirations for that is opengl model
