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.

Vulkan Tutorial (Rust)
For me, it was "I Am Graphics And So Can You" [1] series, where author progresses from the similar concepts up to a working renderer for DOOM 3, linked in the intro of this article [2].

What are the relevant use cases of WebGPU vs Vulkan?
Many of the vulkan presentations Kronos has given talk about this (especially the older ones), though they are also light on examples. Best specific example was the ID tech guys porting doom 3 to vulkan (I believe this may be the repo? https://github.com/DustinHLand/vkDOOM3) which they have given talks about

Gaming has gotten so far but they still can't fix the cape
People can look at what's involved in the various game engines that have source available, for example this seems to be the Doom3/vkDoom3 collision detection code (UE5 has a bunch if you search for "collision"), and it's not simple to handle it. That was before (2004) nvidia even started trying to do hair/fabric as bleeding edge tech demos (geforce 5 or 6 IIRC)

Developers praise the Steam Deck: 'It just works, for real'
I'm not a graphics programmer, but I've found these two resources to be illuminating: "How hard is Vulkan really? from GDC 2018", and id's comments in 2016 that Xbox does not use the same code paths as desktop D3D. The fellow giving the first presentation converted Doom 3 to Vulkan by himself as a starter project while on parental leave.

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.

There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig?
There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig? wgpu.rs is an abstraction on top of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, etc...
