The API departs from the flat state machine style of OpenGL and is +designed to make it easy to write orthogonal components that can render without +stepping on each others toes. + +As well as aiming for a nice API, we think having a single library as opposed +to an API specification like OpenGL has a few advantages too; like being +able to paper over the inconsistencies/bugs of different OpenGL +implementations in a centralized place, not to mention the myriad of OpenGL +extensions. It also means we are in a better position to provide utility +APIs that help software developers since they only need to be implemented +once and there is no risk of inconsistency between implementations. + +Having other backends, besides OpenGL, such as drm, Gallium or D3D are +options we are interested in for the future. |
