I did find it a bit surprising that Rust is showing up on the scene that fast. Another interesting project is https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx-rs https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx-rs - their abstractions may seem too much for wrapping OpenGL, until you realize they're ready for a Mantle/Vulkan backend, just need someone to write it. Personally, I wish I could use Mantle on Linux, but the eventual support is probably going to skip that stage and go directly for Vulkan. From reading more online, it seems possible that at least one of Intel, AMD and Nvidia will release a SteamOS-compatible (and thus, Linux in general) Vulkan driver later this year.
