We thought that about the guy who worked with Silab on the original OGL intercection, Mato (I believe was his name) who did the Direct X interception, and someone else (whose name escapes me) who did the advanced MM to MS conversion. All three looked to have potential, gave them the cup/rank, they left.
Well SilentWolf still exists on other forums but I haven't heard from him in a while. Silab is at Mopar and Mato is busy. Really though, there isn't an OpenGL cup and probably never will be one but I can't really "blame" them for leaving because they had no help and no one else knew anything about game programming.. Not to mention that even if they did succeed (which they did imo), no one really "used/uses" it and eventually it gets boring.
However, I see the HTML5 thing as a next step in the world of options. Well.. that's if Jagex keeps pushing the HTML5 updates and stuff.
I mean, a lot of scripters and programmers know Javascript and HTML so even if they don't know WebGL/OpenGL, they can still get somewhere with a bot. Not sure if that'd be for Simba but I still think a promising newcomer rank isn't bad at all for the work and proof he has so far.
