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

  • I develop a small game on top of the project structure from Learn WGPU guide. I found WGSL shaders tedious to write, though, since text editor support is non-existent, and it's hard to find examples and precise documentation. Once I learned about rust-gpu approach to writing shaders in plain Rust code, I instantly decided to try it out and to migrate my existing WGSL shaders. Below goes several obstacles I faced and learnings I took away.
