  🐉 Making Rust a first-class language and ecosystem for GPU shaders 🚧

  

Technical-wise we'd like to give shout out to rust-gpu! -- thanks to them, the entire raytracer (including shaders) has been written in Rust.

  raytracer in C++

I have to laugh. I wrote my first raytracer as a class project in 1990 in C++ (which was a much worse language then than it is today, and was arguably a mistake). I ran it on a Sun 3. It took more than a minute to render my hard-coded image with a couple of hundred triangle-equivalents to a 100×100 buffer. Today that same raytracer can render that image with 3×3 antialiasing at 100×100 in about 40ms (about 25fps) on my current hardware; 2560×1440 takes about 14s.
