I imagine that OpenGL is still going to stick around for quite a while.
It has a lot of momentum, and is much easier to use for projects that have simpler requirements.
Also, learning Vulkan without some OpenGL background is going to be a lot more difficult.

I don't mean to be discouraging. I meant that it's a skill that you can and will learn with practice and experience.
Lol no. Vulkan is way too low level to be usefull for most developers. You need to have some serious skills and time on your hands to do anything usefull with vulkan, and some specialised performance needs for it to be worth it. For the rest of us we will at best use some some higher abstraction wrappers, which OpenGL practically already is.
But I only mentioned OpenGL because that's what I learned a lot of my API reading skills from.

You weren't, don't worry. In fact this is more incouraging. Thanks for

I think I looked through that code in the past, but it's been some time with the specific sound mixer project, I'll have another look. Thanks again. You actually motivated me to go back and try again at some point.
OpenGL has been deprecated for over a decade now and nothing can replace it.
Am i in a parallel world where vulkan doesn't exist?
Vulkan will never replace it until it becomes easier. It's like telling Java programmers to rewrite everything in C.
"no"
Vulkan's power and control will force brainlets to git gud
"no"
OpenGL is good enough for most applications. The only people who will switch over ultimately are tech demos trying to show off next gen shit or gaymening.

This might also be good practice for you. Learn to program Windows applications from scratch. At least, I found it rewarding when I did it.
