`vulk` is a **highly** experimental Vulkan bindings library, except it only includes the latest features and extensions, such as ray tracing, mesh shaders, descriptor buffers, shader objects, etc. `vulk` will not maintain backward compatibility when a new Vulkan extension completely replaces a feature. For example, in `vulk`, you can't use vertex shaders because mesh shaders are a superset of all geometry stages.
The design of `vulk` is inspired by `ash`, which is also what you should use for production use cases instead of `vulk`.
Currently, the only supported driver is the latest NVIDIA April 27th, 2023 driver.
