WebXR
4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 May 2023

I'm talking about WebXR, which is for some reason the name of the standard developed by W3C.
"As such it may seem like WebXR and OpenXR have a relationship like WebGL and OpenGL, where the web API is a near 1:1 mapping of the native API. This is not the case with WebXR and OpenXR, as they are distinct APIs being developed by different standards bodies."

WebGPU is not a replacement for Vulkan (yet)
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Oct 2022

Not a very expansive post. Here's a few more things WebGPU is missing (at least on the web):
- Push constants (wgpu has them as a native feature for all backends) (allows avoiding a uniform buffer write and bind)
- Texture binding arrays (https://docs.rs/wgpu/latest/wgpu/struct.Features.html#associ...) (allows for rendering multiple materials at the same time)
- Multiview rendering (https://docs.rs/wgpu/latest/wgpu/struct.Features.html#associ...) needed for WebXR bindings (https://github.com/immersive-web/WebXR-WebGPU-Binding/blob/m...)
