Maintain separate buffers per object, rather than separate VertexArrays per object?

[aforren1]

Except moderngl currently doesn't maintain state (see e.g. https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl/blob/master/moderngl/src/VertexArray.cpp#L273), so wouldn't do anything meaningful at this point...

If moderngl maintained current program & vertex array ID, could be worthwhile?

But would be a larger structural change? And I probably don't understand all the implications on the moderngl side...

Pseudocode:

Bind shader program
Bind VAO
for obj in objs:
    bind buffer(s) (if not currently bound)
    update uniforms
    draw
