In CUDA I can just use ISO C++17 (C++20 around the corner) plus CUDA extensions, or any other language that targets PTX, with very nice graphical debugging from what is going on the GPGPU.

OpenCL is playing catch up with CUDA, but it requires at least version 2.0 for similar capabilities, while many vendors are still shipping 1.x drivers.

Vulkan, well it seems to be the same story as OpenCL regarding compute tooling, but lets see how much love it will get from NVidia.

I advise watching the GTC 2020 talks regarding CUDA and Vulkan compute.

If you are looking for a single-source GPGPU framework, you should look for SyCL, not Vulkan or OpenCL.
