Metal does pre date Vulkan, and some people consider it easier to use.
- badsectoracula 10mo agoWhile Metal might be easier to use, i'm pretty sure it is still easier to have to worry about Vulkan alone than Vulkan+Metal. And Metal predating Vulkan is really only of concern to code that existed before Vulkan was made available (which wasn't that much).
- brnt 10mo agoMantle predates either, and Vulkan is based on Mantle.
- JimmaDaRustla 10mo agoWell, ya, it's a proprietary walled garden solution.
- array_key_first 10mo agoOpenGL is easier to use than both, but we left it in the dust as it doesn't match the semantics of modern hardware. Metal DOES... but only apple hardware.
