Linked in a thread about Learn OpenGL, where the one comment discusses modern versus early OpenGL APIs and argues the modern ones build on familiar array-of-structs indexing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?

But, they end up more complicated when you get serious and they instill bad practices. Instead, the "modern" APIs allow you to leverage your pre-existing knowledge of "allocate arrays of structs and start indexing them." That's not trivial. But, it is already familiar. And, it ends up a lot better in the…
