When someone says one option is a nonstarter because it's new and immature, I think its fair to look at different signs of maturity to evaluate that statement.

When someone says one option is a nonstarter because it's new and immature, I think its fair to look at different signs of maturity to evaluate that statement.
(I personally don't think any option is a "nonstarter" but it's hard to even get agreement on the relevant evaluation criteria.)
- banachtarski 7y agoIt's not "new and immature." It has a formal specification and is used in production on devices/pcs everywhere. The comment itself was sort of vacuous and nitpicking a single aspect which is something that could be remedied through collaboration.
- om2 7y agoThe set of web safety changes for SPIR-V is kind of new and immature in my opinion. I agree that it's building on a core that is widely deployed in other contexts.
- banachtarski 7y agoBy that standard, everything with respect to a shader ISA for the web is "new and immature." The point is finding a suitable common ground for all vendors to agree on working on. Not everyone going every which way to work on uncoordinated efforts.
