Solar is a low-level cross platform gpu framework built over Vulkan 1.3 using Snektron's vulkan bindings for zig. I am currently focused on making this project suitable for GPGPU work, but will hopefully be able to later add some utilities for handling surfaces and swapchains.
This project seeks to simplify some of the (in my opinion) strange aspects of the Vulkan API, removing some of the annoying constructs and boilerplate. In a sense this is my ideal graphics + compute API, merging the best aspects of Vulkan, D3D12, and Metal, while providing some utilty features (less tedious memory management using the Vulkan Memory Allocator library, image loading with stb_image, etc.).
Note, currently all third party libraries are copied inline into the vendor/ directory. This will change once zig's package management situation becomes a bit more stable (for instance, after the release of 0.12 or 0.13).
