    Why did they feel the need to create this if Vulkan is a thing?

    Edit: Oh it covers not only Metal but also WebGL and WebAssembly. That’s pretty neat.

      @falsem @Voytrekk because they always want to be remembered in history for something good, and they’re desperately trying to make something that will eventually, through no try of their own, end up both *good* and ethical. Also, they want people to use their stuff more, so that they can eventually make it proprietary or something.
