I'm currently doing something similar in C++ based on a project I worked on a couple of years ago. It is a wrapper around OpenGL for people like me who are tired of figuring out the specifics of the OpenGL calls every time they write something.
Goal: Easy access to shaders and its respective buffers with a bare bones visualization.
Example:
Shader shader(fragment_shader, vertex_shader);
verticesVBO.set(vertices);
verticesVBO.map(shader, "inPosition", false);
shader.bind();
shader.setUniform("uViewMatrix", camera.view());
shader.setUniform("uProjMatrix", camera.proj());
shader.setUniform("uModelMatrix", modelMatrix());
facesVBO.bind();
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, facesVBO.length(), GL_UNSIGNED_INT, (void*) NULL);
