@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ The acronym IMGUI was coined by Casey Muratori in this video in 2005:
_"I’ve also seen lots of people getting into arguments about immediate-mode vs. retained-mode GUI APIs. I think this has something to do with how simple the IMGUI concept is, as it leads people to think they understand it, and then they proceed to get into heated arguments as if they actually know what they’re talking about. I rarely see this problem when I’m talking about anything even mildly complicated, like quaternions."_
Casey's work on formulating and popularizing research on this topic has been pivotal and invaluable. His video and the forums that followed helped people gather around the concept and talk about it.

The concept has been privately researched before and after. [Thierry Excoffier's Zero Memory Widget](https://web.archive.org/web/20220516003813/https://perso.univ-lyon1.fr/thierry.excoffier/ZMW/) and his [research report](https://web.archive.org/web/20220516004122/https://perso.univ-lyon1.fr/thierry.excoffier/ZMW/rr_2003_03_11.pdf) in 2003 are also very notable although they didn't reach the game development sphere back then.
