Nouveau NIR Support Slated To Land In Mesa 19.1 Over The Days Ahead

You are not a pro software engineer, clearly. The fact is that shader language conversions slows down performance. And SPIR-V is an industry standard, NIR is not.

LOL. An "industry standard" used by precisely zero actual drivers the way you are describing.

As in, every actual driver only uses it to convert to their own internal IR, just like mesa is doing.
