How to render text with rust?

• learn-wgpu

  30 803 9.2 Rust

  Guide for using gfx-rs's wgpu library.

  For the first part, there's too much surface area to cover but it sounds like one good starting point would be to learn a bit more about how low(ish) level graphics programming works in the context of rust. I think learning-wgpu will get you to the "I have a window and I can draw things to it, and I actually understand how my data turns into pixels" stage, which is super cool and performant if you've never dived lower than ui frameworks before.
