@demofox Ah fab, I look forward to seeing your commentary on it. Is there a particular end goal? Or more of a toy / exploration thing?

@nick I'm doing some cross platform work and supporting Vulkan opens up a couple platforms, which is nice :)

@demofox That’s great, I don’t follow Vulkan closely or anything, so predominantly the discussion I’ve seen is all “LOL even 1 triangle is stupid hard, OpenGL is way better”.

@nick @demofox Well, it's kind of true. Vulkan is painfully difficult to get started with. You literally have to write a thousand lines of code just to be able to draw a triangle. The simplicity of OpenGL 1.0's glBegin/glEnd is unbeatable if you want to get a quick view of something.

However, Vulkan excels at giving you a clear view of what is really happening as you interact with the GPU. It is still overly verbose, but after a while you start to appreciate the overall design.
