Kudos! What an impressive collection of features and display of substantial development in almost all areas of the framework!

What's the current status of OpenGl Support? Any progress there? It would be really "cool" and inspiring to be able to develop on older yet otherwise good-enough hardware... thinking about all those very young future devs stuck with all that otherwise good-enough hardware here ;)

We let wgpu https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs handle our graphics backend abstraction, so our OpenGL support will come whenever they implement and release it. Currently, it seems to be a WIP.

Please share what that hardware is. On Linux, Vulkan support starts at Intel IvyBridge, which is 8 years old now. Do people develop games on older computers these days? On other OSes, we have D3D12/D3D11 and Metal support.
