In the end, it doesn't matter how the underlying hardware works. Oh yes, yes it does x). The best APIs are those that reflect how the hardware work, because they build knowledge of what exactly is going on physically. For exemple, why do you think Vulkan is such a hit ? Maybe this small point stuff...

Like Jonatan Blow who create a programming language (https://www.twitch.tv/j_blow) and Andreas Kling who create an OS (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ts8coMP645hZw9JSD3pqQ). Work has to be ...
