I think the reason that Metal is not interesting people is that you can't run it outside Apples ecosystem. If you learn Vulkan, your code will run everywhere.

- tombert 5y agoSure, more or less, I'm just saying that the API for Vulkan feels pretty steep and irritating, but the API for Metal is somewhat approachable. I'm not a graphics programmer, but whenever I've gotten the itch, I've always gotten huge headaches trying to get Vulkan to work, and had basically no issues at all using Metal.
