KDGpu is a thin wrapper around Vulkan whose purpose it is to make modern graphics APIs more accessible and easier to learn. It cuts through the verbose syntax, makes managing object lifetimes much simpler and allows you to get your project working without having to be bogged down in intricacies involved in tasks such as synchronization or memory handling. The sensible option defaults in KDGpu mean that you can focus on solving the problem at hand. Furthermore, KDGpu exposes almost all of the power of raw Vulkan and is very well suited to teaching modern graphics APIs and their concepts.
