Okay, apparently www.vulkan.org is another option for GPU programming, OpenGL is
supposed to be a bit heavy for Simple GPU programming.

But with Tens of Thousands of Floating-Point GPU Cores in your standard GPU, it
appears silly to be still using 4 to 16 CPU cores that suck at maths. CPUs are
well known for screwing up Floating-Point Maths (1.0+2.0=3.2 lol).

Oh and GLSL looks a lot like C Language. With a main that gets called for each
pixel by the cores, in a batch fashion...

Thank you, YouTube...I cannot find the original video; it appears to have been
taken down. But there are plenty on there still...
