Why exactly are we laying it on thick against Apple here when they have the support of other browser vendors in proposing this and are trying to fix a legitimate problem? All of the comments seem to be "well wouldn't it be nice if they used WebVulkan instead" when WebVulkan doesn't fucking exist. If it were so obviously superior why isn't it in the pipeline already? Apple is not the only company that can propose standards, if there was really such an immense appetite for WebVulkan I think it would already have been proposed! This doesn't even touch the reasons it hasn't been, and the most important of these for me is security. "Well yes, it's extremely low level and admittedly very dangerous, but we can make it secure enough to expose to the most hostile environment in the history of computing" is how we ended up in the mess we are in right now security wise. You want a secure system, you have to build it that way from the start preferably in languages that don't let you decapitate yourself like Rust. I'm pretty sure it's a consensus that it's impossible to write secure C code these days, so why is everyone so convinced we could sufficiently harden a low level graphics API for web use? This is like if when NetScape proposed JavaScript if everyone went "well you're just trying to dominate it, we already have C89 just put that in the browser." Fucking NO. When are we as an industry and a discipline going to learn our lesson with this "code first, secure later" crap? And again, if this could be done and it's such a great idea, why is this the first proposal and not actual WebVulkan? The argument here is not WebVulkan vs WebGPU because again WebVulkan does not fucking exist. When or if it does, perhaps we can argue about why Apple won't support it if they don't, but until then, you're shooting down one attempt at a standard API with a hypothetical thing that does not exist and which a lot of experts in the field seem to think is a bad idea from several angles. I will reiterate this one last time because it seems like everyone has missed this: there is currently no cross-platform solution for next-gen web graphics except for this proposal. Put up or shut up.
