Ask HN: Will there ever be a vendor agnostic GPU interface?

We moved from almost write once run anywhere OpenGL to vendor-dependent Vulkan / D3D12 / Metal / WebGPU, which is kinda impossible to support all without heavy abstraction layers and shader transpilers. Is there any possibility that we'll have easy cross platform in graphics realm in the future?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Why do developers blog on Medium while it's paywalled?

Ask HN: Why do developers blog on Medium while it's paywalled?
13 by behnamoh | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Unfortunately, there's so much good content on Medium that appears at the top of Google search as well, but non-subscribers are deprived of such content. At the same time, I see lots of discussion here on HN about how many developers care for the free and open internet. How is it then, that many developers write and contribute to such paywall websites? And it's not just Medium. Many websites are built on top of Medium and they too get paywalled.
