Deprecating support for OpenGL

Can people criticising Metal actually explain what's wrong with it, because - on paper - it's pretty much the perfect API, outside of being Apple-only. Enjoy your ten thousand lines of triangle with Vulkan, pajeets.

On paper, communism sounds nice too

>less efficient
>non portable
>less control
Typical mactoddler fruity toddler toy API. No wonder no one touches it. Now mactrash has even pushed itself further into irrelevancy LOL

>OpenGL is absolute garbage.
how to spot the idiot who never touched openGL.

well we have never tried it outside of paper

>If you can't let go then you can't have new things.
What's the point if this new thing is a 10-year setback ?
Vulkan is the hot new thing, metal will always be 5-8 years behind it.

>metal will always be 5-8 years behind it.
If you take into consideration the skillful apple programmers, then the most positive prediction I can make is that metal will never take off outside of simple apps and fagos gui.

So which is the most future proof(work and profession wise) api right now?

>If you take into consideration the skillful apple programmers
the what ?
hahahahahah

Xorg

Vulkan is pretty much the only option right now.
It runs on old videocards unlike dx12
it runs on any desktop os unlike dx12
It also used in many android apps.

Metal is the only solution if you want to use advanced 3d on new mac os, with this move they clearly show which market they're targetting and it's not the pros like some dipshit all around the world like to say for decades now.
Macs are officially nothing more than glorified facebook machines.

/s in case you're a redditor.

Except the "new thing" is proprietary and only works on iOS and macOS. If at the very least Apple were deprecating it in favor of Vulkan people would be less upset.

Why do 3rd parties have to do Apple's job for them?

Vulkan, obviously. But that shit is too low level.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

>But that shit is too low level.
Wrong, you can work at the same level as opengl and even higher in some simple cases.
Metal will be at the exact same level as the others.

Your last point isn't a very good thing though

There's a lot of Vulkan libraries that people use to make it higher level. One I've started to see catch on is Vulkan Memory Allocator.

puke-inducing ugly bitch.

I agree.

It's not good, but it's still relevant. Too bad RISC-V is at least couple of years away from being viable.

That's silicone user

Dev boards seem to be pretty power efficient. I'd love to see a fully libre 51nb-style retrofit for thinkpads with RISC-V so I could go full freetard and not worry about inept monkeys at Intel making vulnerable chips.

>vage statement
>le mactoddler btfo xD

Thats non a excuse.
Why Apple should implement 3rd party things inf first place?
