+The engine tracks currently used shader program to avoid unnecessary calls to
+@fn_gl{UseProgram}.
+
+If extension @extension{ARB,separate_shader_objects} or
+@extension{EXT,direct_state_access} is available, uniform setting
+functions use DSA functions to avoid unnecessary calls to @fn_gl{UseProgram}.
+See setUniform(GLint, GLfloat) documentation for more information.
+
+To achieve least state changes, set all uniforms in one run -- method chaining
+comes in handy.

 @todo Uniform arrays support
