`govips` was a pretty early binding and wasn't really done the libvips way. It doesn't expose all the operations or options, it's mostly done by hand, and there are a number of leaks and misfeatures.
Which is an automatically generated 100% binding. It should have the complete API, it should be very stable and leak-free, and it should be simple to maintain.
`autorot` is pretty expensive. You'll see much better performance if you flip x and y in your crop instead.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the detailed reply and the recommendation!
I wasn’t aware of `vipsgen`, but it looks great — full coverage and auto-generated bindings are exactly what I’ll be missing in `govips` if the project grows (I hope it will). I’ll definitely give it a try and see how it works.
Also, great tip on avoiding `autorot` by flipping crop coordinates — I hadn’t thought of that! Thanks again for your help!

It's been replaced by `vipsgen`:
