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.

Using WGPU + crates directly or Bevy?
You could start with one of examples from wgpu and tinker with it to see if that's your thing. Ie. copy hello-triangle and add more triangles / make them move, etc.

gfx-rs ecosystem releases v0.8
wgpu-rs (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs) is probably closer to what you're looking for, it's a "high level wrapper" over wgpu-core (Which implements "WebGPU", an upcoming browser API for graphics using gfx-rs, and AIUI "implements" means this is what a browser might use to actually call a graphics API when javascript uses webGPU, although if you're compiling for wasm it could just call the browser APIs). It can run natively, ignore the fact it has "Web" in the name

GPU compute shader for SHA256 using Rust!
rust-gpu) is used for compiling a compute shader written in Rust to SPIR-V. wgpu-rs is used natively for running the GPU computation.

Bevy 0.5
For web assembly there is the unofficial bevy_webgl2 plugin. Official bevy web assembly support would probably use the wgpu webgl backend, which still needs some work, and is currently untested in bevy.

Bevy 0.5: data oriented game engine built in Rust
We let wgpu https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs handle our graphics backend abstraction, so our OpenGL support will come whenever they implement and release it. Currently, it seems to be a WIP.

Help a newbie (in this language) to find directions :)
It's the same thing, the Rust implementation is just called[wgpu](https://wgpu.rs/)

Last big wgpu-rs example shaders are fully ported to WGSL now, and validated in it
Same as with GLSL, isn't it? What we do in wgpu-rs examples, and that's something I expect to see more widely, is having an integration test that just parses all the WGSL in the project and reports errors. Ideally though, we'd have a set of IDE plugins to do the parsing and report errors right where you type the code. We'd appreciate any help to get these started!

Newbie questions on design patterns in Rust
Also you could use an existing cross-platform graphics library, e.g. wgpu-rs. It supports Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, OpenGL and WebGPU. Oh and it seems to allow switching backends at compile-time via the WGPU_BACKEND environment variable, so maybe check out how they're doing it.

Going beyond build.rs: introducing cargo-px
If you want to automate the creation of certain code that will be nested under the src directory, and committed into source control, there are a variety of ways to do that. One option is to create a sub-crate in your project that does the code-gen and you can run it as needed. The ash project is an example of this.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (16/2023)!
There is also [Vulkano](https://github.com/vulkano-rs/vulkano). It has a safe high level api and lower level layers, all the way down to [ash](https://github.com/ash-rs/ash) which is more or less raw vulkan. It's more explicit and verbose than [wgpu](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu) though, so maybe try wgpu first and see how you like it.

A new picture of my ray tracing voxel engine (Vulkan/RTX/Rust)
Yes. I use Ash bindings for Vulkan and raw GLSL for shaders. I tried to use spirv-std for shaders—it was really great to have the benefits of Rust (structs, enums, strict type assertions, etc.)—until I needed to use buffer references. Unfortunaly, it is not yet implemented.

go-vk - A new Go language binding for Vulkan
This is great, of all the vulkan go bindings I have been waiting for one that uses vk.xml to generate the bindings, because it's the only viable way to keep the bindings up-to-date. (fyi the popular [ash-rs](https://github.com/ash-rs/ash) is created the same-way).

undefined symbol: wlEglCreateSurfaceExport
Hi, I am having an issue on pop-os wayland where when I run a vulkan application I get an error symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-vulkan-producer.so: undefined symbol: wlEglCreateSurfaceExport I have tested this with https://github.com/ash-rs/ash running the triangle example.

State of GPGPU in 2022
Nice and simple. Its quite portable too. But simplicity and ease of use come with some limitations. Ash is much more complex but can extract every bit of power from your card if needed. Wgpu-rs github comes with many examples and you can find a really nice tutorial here

How to render text with rust?
Glium and ash provide low level access to different common graphics api's. I'm sure there's a good directx-11/12 bindings as well but I'm unfamiliar with what people use.
