OpenGL is dying. It's already deprecated on MacOS.

- Groxx 7y agoSure, but there are multiple "OpenGL on Metal/Vulkan" projects. Because it's possible to do so without all that much of a performance loss. OpenGL effectively should die... but it's not going to be in favor of raw Metal/Vulkan, except in rare cases. Most people already use engines that abstract most of that away, and Metal/Vulkan are in basically every way better for those engines.
- yellowapple 7y agoApple deprecates lots of things that are still alive and well (see also: headphone jacks). I wouldn't read too much into that.
