When doing ordinary upgrade of parry3d for my rs-opw-kinematics robotic crate, I suddenly realized that not gonna be just few tweaks only this time, because Parry switched from nalgebra to glam input for the meshes I use for robot collision avoidance. After reading more about glam, I observed notes that glam library is "marketed" being more about "what is actually used" and claimed to be faster.

I need to make decision if rs-opw-kinematics crate should migrate to glam, or should I fork it providing glam-oriented version. Playing with Cargo features seems not easy because this is touching very same core of the algorithm, so mostly everything must be adjusted.

If you are using nalgebra or glam in your robotic project, let me known, making me easier to make a decision. I think the problem is not my project specific and would reflect if robotic ecosystem is now drifting towards glam or I can stick with nalgebra for now.
