is a *highlevel-ish* helper for Vulkan using

[Ash](https://crates.io/crates/ash).

MarpII is the successor to [Marp](https://gitlab.com/tendsinmende/marp), which

was a Rust-y abstraction layer over low-level Vulkan bindings.

The new crate does not focus on wrapping Vulkan into one safe wrapper, but

instead provides multiple levels of helpers that should make using it easier.

This includes handling resource lifetimes and providing simplifications for

common operations.

The main crate provides utilities for robust Vulkan context (instances, devices,

etc.) and resource (images, buffers, descriptors etc.) creation. Lately,

higher level helpers like a

[resource managing frame graph](https://siebencorgie.rs/posts/marpii-rmg/) and

helpers for descriptor creation and command buffer recording joined the project.
