What an horror show.
I always was interested in game programming, but never was able to really get interested enough in graphics programming, I guess having a messy API is not an excuse, but you can really sense that CPUs and GPUs really have different compatibility stories, and that's maybe why it's not attracting enough programmers.
I still hope that one day there might some unified compute architecture and CPUs will get obsolete. Maybe a system can be made usable while running on many smaller cores ? Computers are being used almost exclusively for graphic application nowadays, I wonder if having fast single core with fat caches really matters anymore.
