Anybody know why V-EZ has not been updated in 5 years?
I recently asked about something similar. AFAIK in terms of convenience layers, only vk-bootstrap is still maintained, other than vulkan.hpp bindings. There's also vookoo but it's rarely updated.

Are there any good c examples?
A shameless plug: here's a link to my repo https://github.com/jammymalina/vkbasicapp that could get you started. It's a WIP and far from done. The code is relatively structured, I got the inspiration from vk-bootstrap and I am Graphics And So Can You blogpost.

Writing Vulkan SPIR-V shaders in C++?
Great answer. Wanted to add on vk-bootstrap, does a lot of the initialization boiler plate for you: https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap

What is the proper way to link libvulkan.1.dylib ith cmake while avoiding issues with the installed vulkan SDK?
It looks like the issue was on how I was using a library to load vulkan https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap/issues/83
- I'm seeking for advice, after a month of learning Vulkan I feel like I'm going nowhere
-
Can I automate the first painful steps of vulkan?
vkguide is probably what you want, but in case you don't want to start your code with a guide, you can use vk-bootstrap to get started faster, it's what's used in vkguide.

Vulkan Framework Design Question
I just discovered vk-bootstrap today, and it looks like it'll make initialization code much much easier.
-
Is there any simple layer (C/C++) which would take care of the long syntactic sugar?
For what you are asking, vk-bootstrap is a library that mostly handles the very first 300-400 lines of vulkan code. https://github.com/charles-lunarg/vk-bootstrap

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.

There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig?
There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig? wgpu.rs is an abstraction on top of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, etc...
