VKGL: An Effort For OpenGL Core Profile Support Over Vulkan

[Weasel]

Yes, lately they've been pretty bad and getting worse (in my opinion obv), but I said that many times before it's one of the reasons I gave up on them (as in not even touch a Windows OS anymore after 7, without a VM, for personal use, side-by-side with Linux).

Every single GPU computing application in the world is or will use OpenCL/CUDA...

Metal Performance Shaders are dead with sub 1 percent marketshare and GPU computing on macOS is/will be a complete joke compared to Windows and Linux.

Dream on.

I hope I am right...

CUDA is a thing, much more than OpenCL, but the overall message does not change.

Apple's primary iOS implementation of OpenGL ES is a shim on top of Metal (though funny enough, IIRC performs much worse than MoltenGL).

Maybe at some point Mesa is flensed of platform-specific OpenGL drivers, and they're replaced with generic frontends (but with some new extensions to expose popular vendor-specific features through Vulkan to reach those OpenGL frontends).

Just like Apple's OpenGL performed like garbage..... hmmmmm...... that's completely unrelated, I'm sure.
