Actually in the top comment of that article it says that the article author had
a misundertanding.
What will potentially be merged is the intermediate representation SPIR-V, not
the languages on top.
I did find something called ["Vulkan
Compute"](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11798208).
Exactly, Vulkan is meant to replace both OpenGL _and_ OpenCL, in a single
language. I suspect, in many case, someone using OpenGL is likely to use OpenCL
(or CUDA) too. And they need to learn two different languages to do that.
Vulkan will make the life of such devs easier (in theory).

I got the impression that Vulkan also supports that and may merge with OpenCL.
I will write OpenCL code and also HIP code in my deep learning library.
Vulkan however is different from OpenCL and Cuda. Vulkan provides Graphics and
Physics related primitives like OpenGL or GLSL shaders while OpenCL and Cuda
provides you with a subset of C/C++ working on the GPU (loops, if/el
I assume that means nobody is working on it atm. Maybe using one of those two
APIs would simplify things?

Just stumbled upon this while looking for completely unrelated stuff:
[https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas#add-a-code-generator-for-opencl](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas#add-a-code-generator-for-opencl)
I bet 2 cents on Valve time
The Nim manual mentions "the upcoming OpenCL target". Is that still a coming?
And what about [Vulkan](https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/), which seems to be
it's successor?
