Vulkan takes like 600+ lines to do what Metal does in 50.

I'm sure the comments will be all excuses and whys but they're all nonsense. It's just a poorly thought out API.

Agreed. It has way too much completely unnecessary verbosity. Like, why the hell does it take 30 lines to allocate memory rather than one single malloc.

Same with DirectX, if only COM actually had better tooling, instead of pick your adventure C++ framework, or first class support for .NET.
