Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

WebGPU Fundamentals
This is true, but there is a lot more to the story. For one, WebGPU does not (yet) support mesh shaders, though it may later as an extension. For two, consider a glyph such as "o" that has two contours. Real triangulation generates a mesh that only generates triangles between the outer and inner contours, and mesh shaders aren't good at that. There are techniques (cover and stencil) that draw twice, incrementing and decrementing a winding number stored in the stencil buffer (see contrast renderer[1] for a clean modern implementation), but it does require nontrivial tracking on the CPU side, and can result in lots of draw calls to switch between the cover and stencil stages unless sophisticated batching is done.
Compute shaders avoid all these problems and work on WebGPU 1.0 today.

Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
Thanks!
You can also checkout the "feature/ui" branch in GIT [1] to get the UI framework prototype.

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.
