I don't think Valve's window toolkit ever supported vulkan. Steam no longer uses OpenGL because they replaced their window toolkit with Chrome.

>It is legacy and started to be retired.

The standard itself, but the implementations are still being maintained and new extensions are being added. It is still a solid base to build upon.

It is being retired, it is a massive bloat compared to vulkan (mainly because of the glsl compiler), so it is reasonable to say than building upon it is a mistake.

I see know signs that it is being retired on platforms other than mac. With vulkan you have to bloat your own program's code and introduce complexity. Regardless bloat doesn't matter so I don't know why you are focusing on that.

ok chatgpt.

This comment is pretty wrong. Vulkan still uses the GLSL compiler.

No, https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/htm...

Can you tell me which part of this you're referring to?
