(Metal is already in iOS8)
For the first time in history we have OpenGL, OpenES and WebGL on all platforms including iOS8 and IE11. And then all these companies kiss the open APIs good bye by releasing all the proprietary next-gen APIs whereas the successor to OpenGL isn't even ready. So multiplatform will have to stick with OpenGL/OpenES/WebGL or bit the granite and code for several different APIs :(
The WWDC announcements are great, don't get me wrong.
