Why did they feel the need to create this if Vulkan is a thing?

Edit: Oh it covers not only Metal but also WebGL and WebAssembly. That's pretty neat.

@falsem @Voytrekk because they always want to be remembered in history for something good, and they're desperately trying to make something that will eventually, through no try of their own, end up both *good* and ethical. Also, they want people to use their stuff more, so that they can eventually make it proprietary or something.

Can someone with more knowledge of graphics libraries give some insight? How does this fit in with OpenGL, Metal, etc?

And it's open source too, how nice.

Like it or not Facebook contributes a lot to open source. This seems like a good project.
