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.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame
