Hi @tim_cook, are we going to see Vulkan on macOS? Unless you're building simple graphics, Metal just isn't good enough. We need Vulkan.

That's not a solution for general developers.
Many developers do abstract over multiple APIs. And hundreds of thousands who use Epic and Unity can already use Metal.

I know, but saying Epic and Unity have already papered over your API so I don't have to doesn't solve the issue.
-
If I'm not using Epic or Unity I'm still at square one.
-
Not everyone can use or wants to use a massive game engine.
-
Not everyone does. That doesn’t change the fact that Metal is how to do modern graphics on Apple platforms.
-
Right, and only Apple platforms. My entire developer career I've used Apple products. This is the first time I'm wavering.

Thanks for engaging with me
@warrenm. I do appreciate it. I also really do think your team did a good job. I just miss the more open Apple. -
Thanks for the conversation. I hear where you're coming from. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance.
-
Will do! Thanks
