   What's the state of 3D graphics for #Rust? There are many abandoned projects (glium, gfx...) along with the not-yet-ready wgpu framework and many thin wrappers around non-portable APIs (DirectX and Metal), the very low-level Vulkan or the deprecated OpenGL.

     @penguin42 5 years ago, I also made the mistake of learning Rust while learning modern OpenGL and learning Rusty's GL wrapper glium, from the same author of Vulkano. I guess this time it will be easier 😆

     @codewiz I did write some Vulkano; heck it was hard work for me; certainly I made a mistake of learning Rust and Vulkan and Vulkano at the same time; but certainly a case for a learning curve involving spiky boots and pitons.

     Perhaps Vulkano is the 3D rendering API I'm looking for. Too bad it won't be portable to browsers (since WebGPU ended up being different from Vulkan).

     The triangle example is "only" 500 lines of #Rust 😒

     Ok, more than half are nice comments...
