Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
What I find interesting is that kwark, the open source contributor that made Linux port possible was the main developer on wgpu at Mozilla, yet he decided to build an alternative [1] to wgpu that he used for zed. I wonder what's the rational for that.

Ray query example in Blade
This is basically Ray Tracing support in Blade. So far, only ray queries are supported. Unlike prior work on ray tracing in Rust, this is original due to all shader code being WGSL, see the Naga PR.

What's everyone working on this week (40/2022)?
Making a PDF builder on top of https://crates.io/crates/printpdf, which is a bit low level to work (you have to manually calculate text position etc). This builder keeps track of position, margin, font management and so on so writing a PDF becomes straightforward.

Anyway to write a pdf top down using Rust?
Hello, this question may be quite specific, but has anyone successfully built a pdf document writing from top to the bottom? I am trying to programmatically generate a pdf document with text only using printpdf, but its use_text function generates text based on coordinates going from the bottom. Meanwhile, there is no way for me to determine the y-axis given the font size affects the distance to the bottom. Does anyone else here have a better strategy? Thank you very much
