An introduction to Shader Art Coding
I was able to find a project on Github (https://github.com/septag/glslcc), which claims to convert glsl to hlsl using spirv cross. I haven't tried it, however. I remembered running across it recently doing similar google searches on shaders.

Is there a list of resources which help to abstract over OpenGL and Vulkan, as their as their GLSL dialects? (DirectX and HLSL are also welcomed)
For cross compiling you can look at https://github.com/septag/glslcc - which uses SPIRV-Cross too.

Challenges of compiling OpenGL 4.3 compute kernels on Nvidia
I actually did that too. I tried using google's shaderc to compile my existing OpenGL 4.3 codebase to SPIRV binaries and load it from a OpenGL 4.6 context. Sadly this did not fix my issue, the Nvidia compiler crashed the same way.

Do you mean how to compile Spir-V at runtime? shaderc repo has an example https://github.com/google/shaderc/tree/main/examples/online-compile

Examples: | > shader --webservice | | Use webservice to automatically compile all *.glsl files in this project. | > shader --webservice --watch | | Watch for file system changes and use webservice to compile *.glsl files. | > shader --webservice --dart | | Generates a .dart-file with a loading function instead of byte code. | > shader --webservice --put-in-assets | | Places compiled files into the Flutter assets directory. | > shader --local /path/to/shaderc | | Use local executable of glslc by pointing to a directory to look for it. Usage: -s, --webservice Use a hosted webservice to compile local *.glsl files. -l, --local Use a local executable of the glslc compiler. Specify the path to a location where shader_cli should scan for the glslc executable. Download: https://github.com/google/shaderc -c, --custom-webservice Uses a self-hosted webservice to compile *.glsl files. You can download the webservice at: https://github.com/felixblaschke/shaderc_webservice -w, --watch Watches for file system changes and automatically recompiles the *.glsl files. -p, --path Defines a directory path to scan for files to compiler. If unset, it will use current working directory. -a, --put-in-assets Places the compiled files into this project's assets directory. -d, --dart Generates Dart-file with embedded SPR-V byte code and a simple shader loading function. -h, --help Shows this help text.

What are your (dynamic) shader workflows when targeting multiple backends (Vulkan and Metal)?
I am working on an engine that targets Vulkan and Metal. I'm at the point now where I want to be able to dynamically update my shader at runtime to suit the type of data being sent in for drawing. I am currently using offline compilation for my GLSL (for Vulkan) and MSL (for Metal) shaders. What are your workflows for situations like this? For those using tools like SPIR-V Cross and shaderc, what has your experience been with these tools keeping up to date with the latest features in the specs?

I think I found a bug in the windows version of shaderc?
I can;t edit the post for some reason, you can find it in the issue I posted in the library: https://github.com/google/shaderc/issues/1235

How to install glslc
go to https://github.com/google/shaderc/blob/main/downloads.md and download the version for linux unzip the downloaded folder, assumin you unzipped it in downloads, run the following command in the terminal sudo cp /home/{user}/Downloads/install/bin/glslc /usr/local/bin, cp command copies the target file to target location, you cant drag and drop because copying to local/bin requires special permissions :)

mpv symbol look up error
This was reported as bugs already, status remain undecided. ``` shaderc``` package have been flagged out of date already as the upstream has released tag 2021.3 while it's still on 2021.2 in extra repository. Is this the cause of error?

This Week in Veloren #136: Economics, Naga
shaderc (https://github.com/google/shaderc) is one such shader compiler. It does the job well enough and lets us compile our GLSL shader code into the SPIR-V assembly that the graphics drivers need. However, it's written mostly in C++ and has a rather complicated build system. This means that people wanting to compile Veloren need to install a variety of extra things to get shaderc working with Veloren.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing glslcc and shaderc you can also consider the following projects:
SHADERed - Lightweight, cross-platform & full-featured shader IDE
glslang - Khronos-reference front end for GLSL/ESSL, partial front end for HLSL, and a SPIR-V generator.
DirectXShaderCompiler - This repo hosts the source for the DirectX Shader Compiler which is based on LLVM/Clang.
niceshade - A wrapper for DirectXShaderCompiler and SPIRV-cross
naga - Universal shader translation in Rust
SPIRV-Cross - SPIRV-Cross is a practical tool and library for performing reflection on SPIR-V and disassembling SPIR-V back to high level languages.
reshade - A generic post-processing injector for games and video software.
