# M(ulti-platform)ANGLE effort | |
Starting in early 2014, the ANGLE team has begun work on refactoring the code | |
with the goal of supporting translation to desktop OpenGL. In 2016, work on | |
supporting Vulkan as a back-end started. The new purpose of ANGLE is to | |
provide a consistent OpenGL ES and EGL context on as many platforms as possible. | |
