Hi, Is there a plan for suppor metal？

[Perksey]

Yes there is a plan.

@Perksey Any update on this? Projects like Ryujinx could very much benefit from Metal bindings in the future.

[Perksey]

@IsaacMarovitz this is still planned for 3.0.

Hi there, you seem to have plagiarised my repository. You are within your rights to do so under the MIT license that that code was initially distributed under, but it's generally not a good idea to then advertise that plagiarism on a thread with the original dev :)

I'm really sorry, this library was given to me by a friend. After asking him, he did indeed download it from your library. I have made some modifications to this library, mainly focusing on iOS support and GC free objects, as well as the content of MetalFX. May I add your library link as the source library for this library? Or should i delete it?

I'm just fine if you link it. Also, consider PRing the GC stuff, as that is a core issue with the current implementation :)

Any progress on this? What about using SharpMetal as a foundation?

[Perksey]

The SharpMetal team and the Silk.NET team both agree that wouldn’t be sensible, as their generator technology isn’t completely bulletproof and is only a stopgap solution until something better comes along.

The best solution to me is waiting for .NET-Swift interop to land, in which case this should be trivial to solve. But yeah as Perksey said, the SharpMetal generator is too jank to be used for Silk.
