MetalGL is an OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation that uses the Metal framework, so
you’d be trading off performance and rewriting a pretty big chunk of the
rendering code for not much gain. Furthermore, MetalGL’s license is
incompatible with the LGPL.

I heard that there is a project called MetalGL that aims to compile OpenGL
shaders using Metal... might make a port easier. Either way it would be
awesome to see an SL client written from the ground up in Swift running
Metal ... :D Maybe for SL 2 eh?
