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.

- How does webgpu planning to use webgl shaders?

I want to talk about WebGPU
That wouldn't have been all that different from WGSL though, the most important thing is that whatever WebGPU uses for its shaders can be translated to and from SPRIV (and WGSL does that too (e.g. via https://dawn.googlesource.com/tint and https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga).

Survey: How have shader compilation messages been for you?
Hey all, wanted to put this link in here, where I'm proposing changing the API for errors in naga, so Naga can take ownership of error presentation and actually Make Shader Compilation Messages Comfy™: https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/issues/2317
-
Start project on Metal, port to DX11?
EDIT: There is also naga but it does not take HLSL as input: https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga but you can use DirectXShaderCompiler to compile to SpirV, then use naga to compile to Metal.

Chrome ships WebGPU (available by default in Chrome 113)
And it seems that naga https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga Already has a working front/backend for wgsl.
-
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.
-
Does WGSL work well with vulkan?
There's a compiler that can translate from WGSL to SPIR-V called naga. Having such a compiler is essential, since WebGPU is planned to use WGSL and browsers are expected to implement rendering via Vulkan (and probably Metal and DX12).
-
Glsl transpiler, interpreter?
Not sure about on the CPU, but naga is a shading language transpiler you can write custom front/backends for.
-
Any guides/documentation on the WGSL shading language?
The spec docs are actually pretty useful https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/ besides that I was using naga's tests for reference https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/tree/master/tests
-
How are Vulkan, CUDA, Triton and all other things connected?
For cross-platform support look at WebGPU and Vulkan (e.g,: [0] [1]. Essentially, you would need to write the func in WGSL or GLSL, HLSL or MSL. Each of these can be cross-compiled to SPIR-V (what Vulkan needs) with cross-compilers such as spirv-cross and naga.

GPGPU Options
If you don't mind using a pure rust "alternative" you could use wgpu or a wrapper like gpgpu-rs, or any other of the projects mentioned in the other comments.
-
Non graphical computing on GPU
gpgpu-rs is a wgpu helper lib
-
Compute Shaders and Rust - looking for some guidance.
You could try gpgpu-rs, a compute-focused framework I'm writing. It has some nice integrations with image and ndarray (tho the latter still needs some work) I'll definitely love some feedback :)
-
Rust-CUDA: writing and executing extremely fast GPU code fully in Rust
Would be really nice to have an actual cross platform GPGPU library. It's really holding every kind of progress back to have only vendor lock-in.
Maybe WebCPU will be capable of compute to the extend that CUDA isn't necessary. https://github.com/UpsettingBoy/gpgpu-rs

I was bored so I corrected the corrected calculator by u/pushinat to calculate all possible scenarios between max and lewis. Out of these 3.7 trillion scenarios Max wins 86.6% of them (Fixed fastest lap, and added half points and cancelled races)
gpgpu-rs it is then! 🙂

Learn Wgpu updated to 0.11
I'm working on a compute framework (gpgpu-rs) based on wgpu, if you wanna check out.

Is WGSL a good choice?
My recommendation is to stick with WGSL for wgpu. I have some simple compute shaders examples if you wanna check out.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing naga and gpgpu-rs you can also consider the following projects:

wgsl.vim - WGSL syntax highlight for vim
shaderc - A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader compilation.
wgpu - Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.
Rust-CUDA - Ecosystem of libraries and tools for writing and executing fast GPU code fully in Rust.
wgsl-mode - Emacs syntax highlighting for the WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL)
compute-shader-101 - Sample code for compute shader 101 training
