Spike gave his first impressions on it there, anyone else toyed with the successor to OpenGL?

I have high hopes for Vulkan being supported by anyone and everyone as a close to metal alternative than DX12.

Hm. I'm not so sure *everyone* will go that path... Apple is betting heavily on Metal to replace GL, and I don't see them changing their stance soon.

BTW, I tested Metal on my vanilla port - though only for blitting from soft mode. Works like a charm .

I'm all for everyone getting their own flavor, but to me it seems like Apple are painting themselves into a corner, thats an outsider perspective though.

Metal being exclusive (it is isn't it?) probably won't bode well for a long term strategy.
