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.

- WGSL Is Terrible

WebGPU now available for testing in Safari Technology Preview
People keep spreading this incredibly misleading statement, and yours is even more misleading (suggesting Apple opposed a 'GPU WASM')
By all accounts, Apple's /only/ stance was that if WebGPU used SPIR-V it would be a non-starter for them, due to ongoing legal issues between Apple and Khronos.
Apple actually proposed WebHLSL in collaboration with Microsoft, to have HLSL be the standard.
Mozilla employee's stance[0] was that SPIRV was too low level, did not fit with the goals of WebGPU portability and security, and expressed concern that Khronos may add functionality to SPIRV they cannot support in WebGPU like raytracing instructions .. 'So we'd always be on the verge of forking SPIR-V in some way.'
It was also noted by many people that even if a bytecode format was used, it would still have to be translated to the target (HLSL/DXIL, MSL, etc.) in almost the same way a text format would.
Nobody proposed a 'GPU WASM equivalent' or an alternative bytecode format.
The hard truth is that shader compilation is a fucking nightmare, people do not realize how bad it is across the different native APIs. SPIR-V is good, but it doesn't solve that - and presents other challenges if you are a web browser API. Vulkan and SPIRV are not the golden goose many make them out to be.

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
Yes it is still a bit new. WebGPU is not finished and is still being worked on: https://webgpu.io/

Capturing the WebGPU Ecosystem
WebGPU currently doesn't support the "bindless" resource access model (see: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/380).
The "max number of sampled texture per shader stage" is a runtime device limit, and the minimal value for that seems to be 16. So texture atlasses are still a thing in WebGPU.

Why aren't we using highly efficient int8 calcualtions in quants? (maybe eli14?)
There's even an implementation under discussion to have the dp4a instruction added to WebGPU (https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/2677)

Porting WebGL Shaders to WebGPU
Good article, I was looking for a resource like this when I was experimenting with WGSL. I ended up writing a short cheat sheet that might be useful to others here: https://github.com/paulgb/wgsl-cheat-sheet
What are some alternatives?
wgsl.vim - WGSL syntax highlight for vim
naga - Universal shader translation in Rust
pyodide - Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly
Vulkan-Docs - The Vulkan API Specification and related tools
