elderK: packages send 100 , 99 lost : 10m average ping.

Ah! There is life here yet! :D

how's it going, ebrasca?

How's things going with Vulkan? :)

If I like to program vulkan in cl I need to take cl-vulkan in my hands.
11:53:01
elderK
Indeed. Or write your own CL->Vulkan interface :) Which could be a fun detour.

I've spent the past week or so studying Lisp implementation stuff.

Lots and lots of research papers, a lot of history. Very interesting.

There's something fascinating about like, seeing the evolution of languages over time.

:P I always like to see what things were like around the year I was born :P

I don't care I like how they are now.

My family was nobility of Poland. Some of them Kings in Poland.

Fair enough about not caring - I'm weird in that respect. I find history interesting in general, but particularly computing stuff.

It's been fun implementing various naive interpreters.

Just starting to get into compilation and things now.

cl-vulkan looks nice. Seems a lot like GLAD, the way they parse spec files and stuff.

In c++ it is like 1000 lines to get 1 triangle in screen.
11:59:17
elderK
I can't believe it's been like, a month or so since I last touched C or C++
11:59:52
ebrasca
But after 1000 lines it get someting more normal.

ebrasca: if you want to add vulkan support I can see two ways of doing that
16:15:38
froggey
the first is to pick a GPU, start writing a driver for it and work your way up from there to the vulkan api
16:15:54
froggey
second would be to implement the vulkan api on top of a software rasterizer, then you could avoid having to initally write a gpu driver. then once the whole thing is working in software you could write a gpu driver and get acceleration
