What does HackerNews think of kajiya?

That's just straight up false:

This release primarily constitutes a massive rendering API rework. You can think of it more as a foundation that makes it easier to implement better rendering features in the future.

If you check the release notes, you'll see HDR/Bloom support was dropped at the last minute, and several other major rendering features are still pending implementation. [0]

The great part about Bevy is that it's modular, so you can swap out the renderer if you like. For example, there's already several people using Bevy with Embark's kajiya renderer.[1]
