@cmuratori @Jonathan_Blow Well, it shifts burden from conforming to a graphics API to cobbling the pieces you need of it, yourself.
@scottmichaud @Jonathan_Blow There is no difference between an API and an ISA in terms of back-compat. It's both just emulation.

@scottmichaud@Jonathan_Blow The only difference in the two at all is that _current_ generation stuff _isn't_ emulated with the ISA! -
@scottmichaud@Jonathan_Blow Whereas with the API, you are essentially running an emulator _for current gen programs_, which sucks. - Show replies

@cmuratori@scottmichaud@Jonathan_Blow Why not have a versioned IR, ultra thin API lowers to real ISA + allow memorization. No emu ever. -
@marc_b_reynolds@scottmichaud@Jonathan_Blow That would be great but I don't believe the ISA can be stable in that way forever. - Show replies
