Yeah it is a very well written spec. I've been working on an LSP implementation recently, and I wish the spec was even 10% as clear as Vulkan's. Also the official tutorial is really excellent. What I think is unapproachable about Vulkan is just the complexity of the problem space. There are a lot of concepts to be aware of just to get the first triangle on the screen (swap-chain, synchronization, render-passes etc.), so in my experience it took quite a few hours of working with it to build an intuition about how everything fits together. And that was coming from an OpenGL background where 70% of the concepts were familiar. I can imagine if you were coming from something like web front-end development, Vulkan could seem pretty inscrutable. But I will say, since I did cross that bridge, Vulkan became much more intuitive to me than OpenGL. The fact that everything's explicit means there's no mysteries, and the declarative style becomes quite guessable after some time.
