Do you know what a proposal is, by definition? Such things tend to go through a number of web standard committees and are often changed throughout the process. It's not like Apple can directly dictate web standards and expect everyone to fall in line.
- nkkollaw 10y agoI know, but they could make a proposal based on what most people already agree on, instead of their own thing made for Metal.
- xenadu02 10y agoThat's not true because there is no alternative standard proposed for low-level graphics on the web. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. DOES. NOT. EXIST. The major browser vendors have basically already committed to this sort of effort and the GPU vendors are signed on as well. The blog post even says they don't expect the final syntax to look like their proposed syntax. It's called a prototype for a reason and it helps inform the thinking around what to do and what not to do. This is just HN anti-Apple mania. If you have a bone to pick about Vulkan support then go file a radar. Email DTS. Email Apple leadership and lay out your case in detail for why Apple should support Vulkan. None of that has anything to do with trying to standardize low-level graphics on the web.
