Is this totally true? Vulkan supposedly derives from AMD’s Mantle API. Yes Vulkan and OpenGL have extensions in between major releases, but is that worse?

- pjmlp 4y agoYes, coding against extensions means multiple code paths, hardly any different than using multiple APIs when the semantics from multiple vendors don't match 1:1. https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php https://opengl.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php https://opengl.gpuinfo.org/listextensions.php At least with Vulkan they learned why proprietary APIs have profiles.
