  1. If you are just getting into graphics, also consider checking out wgpu https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu the Rust implementation of the WebGPU standard. Conceptually it's the same as Vulkan it's just a lot less pain in the ass to work with.

  3. …having it all in Rust, is just amazing. We're currently working on a 3D renderer based on wgpu ( https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu ) that we will likewise use for both web and desktop.

  6. …to keep an eye on, but it's very much a proof of concept and early going. It's using wgpu ( https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu ), which is a rust-based "implementation" of the WebGPU api, so to speak, which of course would support running via…

  7. …(sokol_gfx in particular): https://github.com/floooh/sokol - wgpu (see wgpu-native for the C API): https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu It kind of seems like graphics abstractions for modern hardware are getting pretty "figured out". There are…

  8. …I think is a great API. It's native to Rust, but there are ways of using it from C and C++ too. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/

  9. …this, it would be good if they put the benchmarks on the first page. E.g, how does it compare with https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu which lets you target Vulkan, Metal, DX, GL or WASM+WebGPU with rust?

  10. There's also WebGPU. wgpu ( https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu ) is really nice.

  12. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu is the actual implementation (in Rust, but exposing a C API). wgpu-rs is an idiomatic wrapper around that.

  13. You should check out wgpu for rendering https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu .

  15. …idea is to embed a SPIRV-to-Metal compiler inside the browser. At least, that's what it looks like https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu is doing right now.
