  Full quote: > Vulkan is a crap. I want to ask Vulkan people, if you want that much performance, why don't you write in assembly? Probably less than 1% of the programmers who can use OpenGL will be able to use Vulkan. Absolutely not for education. Vulkan is a crap. Dr. Soji Yamakawa (aka 'CaptainYS'), mechanical engineering research scientist working for Carnegie Mellon University[0], has a wide list of publications, some of them listed on his website.[1] Most known project of his programming skills is free cross-platform flight simulator YSFlight[2], that use own open-source GUI lib[3] built on top of OpenGL and DirectX. He also keep few classes on learning computer graphics and took part in DemoSplash demo parties (winner of 2017, 2018 and 2019).[4,5,6] [0] https://twitter.com/cmu_mech/status/784391682343182340 https://twitter.com/cmu_mech/status/784391682343182340 [1] http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/publication/publication.html http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/publication/publication.html [2] https://ysflight.org https://ysflight.org [3] https://github.com/captainys/public https://github.com/captainys/public [4] http://www.demosplash.org/2017/compo_entries/results.txt http://www.demosplash.org/2017/compo_entries/results.txt [5] http://www.demosplash.org/2018/compo_entries/results.txt http://www.demosplash.org/2018/compo_entries/results.txt [6] http://www.demosplash.org/2019/compo_entries/results.txt http://www.demosplash.org/2019/compo_entries/results.txt
