Recreating macOS’s Drift screensaver with Rust and Wasm

1. glow

   1 10 1,480 5.8 Rust

   GL on Whatever: a set of bindings to run GL anywhere and avoid target-specific code (by grovesNL)

   

   Most of it is written in Rust and compiles to Wasm with WebGL/OpenGL bindings via glow. The settings panel is written in Elm and the whole project is compiled with Nix. There’s also a very basic native desktop app. I haven’t seen many examples of a complete setup like this, so hopefully this can serve as a template for anyone trying out a similar stack.
