The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Capturing the WebGPU Ecosystem
The Mach engine project has prebuilt Dawn libraries and also a simplified build-from-source process using the Zig build system, see:
https://machengine.org/pkg/mach-gpu-dawn/
It's also possible to use wgpu-native in C/C++ projects as prebuilt library, see:
https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native

I started drafting a tuto to learn WebGPU for native C++
It is based on the wgpu-native implementation (Firefox backend) but I plan on adding a receipe for using it with Dawn (Chrome backend) as well.

Go bindings for WebGPU
go-webgpu provides binding for wgpu-native (a safe and portable GPU abstraction in Rust, implementing WebGPU API).

WebGL 2.0 is Now Supported in All Major Browsers
When you look at graphics APIs in Rust practically everything is pointing towards, and telling you to use, wgpu, which abstracts over Vulkan, Metal, DX11/12, GLES and WebGPU and is based on, drumroll, WebGPU. Hardly surprising as it's the backend firefox is going to use. And yes it has a C API, too.

Mach Engine: The future of graphics (with Zig)
Probably the easiest option would be to target wgpu-native prebuilt binaries but these don't have iOS/Android (unsure if wgpu-native supports iOS/Android at all)

Learn Wgpu
WGPU is the underlying implementation for WebGPU in Firefox and it has C bindings: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native.git.

Vulkan all the way: Transitioning to a modern low-level graphics API in academia
I have not used this, but heard good things about Vulkan Scene Graph. https://github.com/vsg-dev/VulkanSceneGraph Like Open Scene Graph, it's more than just a scene graph. It provides math and geometry among other abstractions for computer graphics.

Beginner question: Is Vulkan like OpenGL except more focused on concurrency?
In fact, there is now a VulkanSceneGraph ( https://github.com/vsg-dev/VulkanSceneGraph ) from the authors of OpenSceneGraph that does exactly what OSG does, but atop Vulkan. Not everything is identical between VSG and OSG, but VSG is definitely a next-generation OSG written atop Vulkan. It addresses many of the limiting design decisions that held OSG back, and is significantly faster than OSG even ignoring the speedup of Vulkan's own efficiencies.
