Even for non-ML things like chem simulations: CUDA (and cuFFT) are more pleasant to use than Vulkan Compute and vkFFT.

I just learned the graphics api of vulkan, can’t imagine anything being less pleasant than vulkan

Oh wow that's horrible.

Really? How low is this level actually? Because I remember my OpenGL class' professor did this in less than 50 lines.

Imagine writing GlCreateContext yourself, for starters, as has been done in the link I posted.
