Is WGSL a good choice?

A discussion that caught my eye (an old one, but not that old) raised some pretty bad issues in WGSL which make me wonder:

• learn-wgpu

  75 1,382 8.0 Rust

  Guide for using gfx-rs's wgpu library.

I have been following u/sotrh tutorial (which might I add is amazing, thank you) and have reached the point where shaders come into play.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• gpgpu-rs

  8 135 3.8 Rust

  Simple experimental async GPGPU framework for Rust

My recommendation is to stick with WGSL for wgpu. I have some simple compute shaders examples if you wanna check out.

• vange-rs

  6 407 6.1 Rust

  Rusty Vangers clone

P.S. I'm fully using WGSL in vange-rs and baryon

• baryon

  3 87 0.0 Rust

  Fast prototyping 3D engine

P.S. I'm fully using WGSL in vange-rs and baryon

• naga

  28 1,491 9.2 Rust

  Universal shader translation in Rust

  

As someone who as used both in the past and contributes to a pure rust shader translator (naga, it's what wgpu uses) .

• vscode-wgsl

  1 73 5.4 TypeScript

  VsCode Syntax highlight for WGSL files

IIRC, somebody looked at it, but nothing usable yet. There is, however, cargo-wgsl, vscode-wgsl, Emacs plugin, and Vim plugin

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• wgsl-mode

  1 17 4.0 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs syntax highlighting for the WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL)

IIRC, somebody looked at it, but nothing usable yet. There is, however, cargo-wgsl, vscode-wgsl, Emacs plugin, and Vim plugin

• wgsl.vim

  1 28 2.3 Vim Script

  WGSL syntax highlight for vim
