3D graphics library
I'm looking for something that's relatively low-level (not a game engine) but preferably abstracts some of the boilerplate away and is cross-platform. Something like go-bgfx would have been perfect for me, but it has been long abandoned. The only real remaining option appears to be the glfw-bindings go-gl/glfw. Otherwise, I could make use of cgo to wrap some c/c++ code myself. I'm somewhat hesitant to go with glfw, because openGL isn't supported on all platforms (but realistically, I'm not going to publish anything that needs to go on mobile), and doesn't support raytracing, which I eventually want to mess around with too.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vulkan and go-bgfx you can also consider the following projects:
hashcat - World's fastest and most advanced password recovery utility
go-webgpu - Go bindings for WebGPU, a safe & cross-platform GPU abstraction
glfw - Go bindings for GLFW 3
ttf-renderer - Glyph rendering in Go + Vulkan via stencils.
go-sdl2 - SDL2 binding for Go
fauxgl - Software-only 3D renderer written in Go.
go-webgpu-examples
vkm - A simple Go language matrix and vector math module, targeting 3D graphics.
raylib-go - Go bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.
