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.
