rust game for web, gltf question
You can absolutely do WebGL. glow is a good place if you want to do the webgl stuff yourself. With wgpu you can as well, though it is mostly targeted to the upcoming WebGPU standard. I have seen many crates that are capable of gltf loading, but I haven't used any yet. Hence I can't reall recommend one. But gltf capability does not really have anything to do with rust. As long as you can read a file and translate it to your engines scene/entity structure, I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to load gltf files.

Recreating macOS’s Drift screensaver with Rust and Wasm
Most of it is written in Rust and compiles to Wasm with WebGL/OpenGL bindings via glow. The settings panel is written in Elm and the whole project is compiled with Nix. There’s also a very basic native desktop app. I haven’t seen many examples of a complete setup like this, so hopefully this can serve as a template for anyone trying out a similar stack.

Shaders and Uniforms in pure SDL2?
By the way, nowadays many projects use glow instead of glutin because of.. I think it's because glow works on wasm, in the web (as webgl).

Graphics Libraries?
But what glow actually does is highlighted on lines 66 to 123. This section is filled with gl.some_function() calls, which is the same on every platform.

My desktop PC is just collecting dust at this point
As replied above, it's just a standard screensaver. Anyhow, someone made a replica website for it: https://flux.sandydoo.me/

How do folks deal with screensavers for Mac OS? The stock screensavers are just so hideous. Is there a way to get new screen savers? Or maybe folks just turn this off?
My favourite Mac screensaver "Drift" has been recreated and the code behind it is fascinating. Check out the GitHub repository to see it in action: https://github.com/sandydoo/flux.
