Am I the only one who is very excited about the Vulcan API? This should be the next big thing for Linux gamers!

I think it's a better economic model to have an API that works close to the metal in any system. DX11, DX12 are so boring, you have to convert all the code to support a new paltform.

Everyone needs to calm down. Vulkan wont fix anything that much, people seem to blame OpenGL for lazy developers.
