OS-X Metal is kinda like a C++ derivative => GPU compilation.

With Vulkan/SPIR other languages should be able to come up with something similar for other platforms.

Thanks for the info.

I'll steal it once you've done that for alphaPhobos :)
Maybe even get Windows context creation made within a few weeks (depends on when I get a new GPU).

600 lines of code to display a triangle...

This is crying for toolkits. I guess they will emerge on github soon.

Yes, Vulkan seems to be more suited for building a generic engine than a small scale application.

Lol I am in case where vulkan could help for my day job. But we are following Qt3D module that can help us for a lot of other issue with our current 3D engine.

Qt3D will support vulkan as backend.
