  1. WebGPU has a (mostly) standardized C API: https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers
    comment by Encounter · 2024-08-30 · in SDL3 new GPU API merged
  2. There's standardized C API which is both implemented by Dawn and wgpu.rs: https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/main/we... ...and this standardized API would also enable other independent native implementations (and shader…

  3. The API definition exists: https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/main/we... The next missing piece is a standard window system glue API for WASI though.

  4. …any hoops. On top of that, I've been enjoying writing in Rust. Why the bloat when this exist? https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers EDIT: nvm i got confused by the name.. who thought it was a good idea to have almost similar…

  5. …C++) and wgpu (in Rust) respectively. Both are designed to be usable behind the same native C API - https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers > For the shading language they settled on a text based language designed to be easily…

  6. wgpu-rs and Dawn have already started to implement a common "webgpu-native" header ( https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/master/... ) which would allow native implementations to be swapped

  7. Dawn also offers a plain C API (IMHO that's much cleaner than the C++ API, but YMMV of course). https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/master/...

  8. …API and run natively. Dawn and wgpu are also collaborating on a common set of native headers ( https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers ) to make it easy to switch between implementations.
