Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Meta releases open source Intermediate Graphics Library which runs on top of Vulkan, Open GL, or Metal on multiple operating systems.
It's using MoltenVK on Mac for Vulkan compatibility, and ANGLE for OpenGL compatibility on Windows and Linux. Makes you wonder what it's actually doing itself.

Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit is Wine
Can't they use https://github.com/google/angle?
- can some help me setup OpenGL ES
-
Learn WebGPU
BTW. For the last 15 years, all web browsers on Windows do WebGL on top of DirectX (using the Angle library https://github.com/google/angle).

Vulkan update: version 1.2 conformance for Raspberry Pi 4
You can still use OpenGL. Just not the vendor provided drivers. They are indeed horrible. There are libraries like:
* ANGLE ( https://github.com/google/angle ) - An OpenGL ES implementation with Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, Desktop GL, GL ES, Vulkan and Metal backends. This is what we used to use for shipping our Qt 3D application, that used a bunch of OpenGL Shaders. We used to get bug reports about various shaders not working properly on various hardware. After switching to this, all those bug reports vanished.
* Zinc ( https://www.supergoodcode.com/do-not/ ) - A more recent, OpenGL implementation on top of Vulkan. I haven't used this one yet. But they are making a lot of progress and it is almost as performant as vendor provided OpenGL Drivers these days. So if I ever have to ship a desktop app, needing opengl, I'd strongly consider using this.

Starting a new Project in 2022, Vulkan or OpenGL?
Another option if perf isn't a big concern is to try using Google's angle OpenGL ES 3.0 implementation, there's backends for it to be supported on Vulkan, Direct3D 11, and (work in progress) Metal. Disclosure, haven't tried it myself, just looking at their feature descriptions: https://github.com/google/angle

Minimising input latency in OpenGL
I don't believe Chrome uses OpenGL directly- any OpenGL usage it does have (e.g. for WebGL) is actually going through ANGLE which translates it all to D3D on Windows.

Direct3D on Flutter Desktop
Skia on Windows uses Angle as renderer, which uses DXD9 & DXD11 on Windows as backing renderer

Porting a game to android
This new Android game kit is a step in the right direction because now you have less JNI/NDK stuff to deal with, BUT it locks you into the Google ecosystem even more. I would not recommend. Most PC game ported to mobile/other platform use SDL2 to manage the audio/input/file access cross platform. And then use something like bgfx or angle for the rendering back end.

What can Kotlin/Swift developers do on Android/IOS that Flutter can't? Will it be overcome?
It’s possible, and projects like Google’s angle project might be of use to create a bridge between OpenGL/OGL Dart wrapper and native APIs once Metal is supported. Just keep in mind that PlatformViews are expensive to use.

is makeing Vulkan guis worth it?
You also don't get extensive support for various hardware for free – good luck running a Vulkan GUI on a pre-GCN AMD card or a sufficiently old NVIDIA one without a compatibility layer of sorts, which would require bothering with Vulkan Portability (i.e. missing certain Vulkan features due to it being implemented via an older API). The only alternative to that is SwiftShader (which would throw your extremely fast GUI aspirations right outta the window).
-
With the induction of UE5’s integrated real-time lighting system (Lumen); if developers begin utilizing this technology, and Epic optimizes its CPU performance, do you think it will replace ray-tracing? Should AMD keep chasing this feature?
That's like saying no one needs a GPU anymore because Swiftshader exists.

Swiftshader without watermark?
Btw, if anyone's interested, here's the link to that branch: https://github.com/google/swiftshader/tree/legacy-d3d9

WebGL 2.0 is Now Supported in All Major Browsers
Yeah, there's still a fallback option through the use of Swiftshader if GPU accelerated vulkan isn't an option. If you use Vulkan for GUI, then it'll be fine to use Swiftshader, but if you're trying to play a game on Swiftshader, it'll likely struggle and probably fail.
