What's the state of OCaml Vulkan support?

Vulkan is a graphics API set to compete with OpenGL in the coming future. the Graphics tab under the Ecosystem heading doesnt mention it at all. how is progress in this area? (for instance, this project).

Vulkan is intended to provide a variety of advantages over other APIs as well as its predecessor, OpenGL. Vulkan offers lower overhead, more direct control over the GPU, and lower CPU usage.

a low-level graphics API plus OCamls HPC would be killer

Cool! AFAIK these are the first bindings for Vulkan. Looks like this code hasn't been released yet, but once it's released, it should definitely be added to Graphics.

I'm closing this because it's currently not actionable. The right forum for this is probably discuss.ocaml.org.
