The Slang Shading Language
I see your point, but one issue is that you can't go from HLSL or GLSL to WGSL for compute work, as the way atomics are typed is incompatible[1]. That's a primary reason we (currently) use WGSL, because going from that to legacy shader languages does work. But then you have all the limitations of WGSL.
Slang had to make a change to its type system[2] to make this work. But they did it, and as a result Slang is appealing as an "apex" language - you can translate from that to anything, and also get advanced features lacking in WebGPU.

What's Next for WebGPU
I am referring primarily to the fact that a restricted subset of WebGPU is needed ('compatibility mode') for D3D11 / GLES era hardware[0]

DirectX Adopting SPIR-V as the Interchange Format of the Future

Jesse B (Unity): We care about HLSL
Eric B (Adobe): Creating a new high level language is a cardinal sin. Don’t. Do. That. Don’t want to rewrite all my shaders AGAIN.

Gpu.cpp: A lightweight library for portable low-level GPU computation
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40952182#40957959
It's early but my current since WGSL -> SPIRV is fairly shallow mapping you should be able to get close modulo extensions. Extensions can be important though, in particular I'm tracking this closely:
https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/4195
One subgoal of gpu.cpp is to be able to have a canvas to experiment and see how far we can push the limits.

Unreal Engine 5 in the Browser
On Chrome for Linux you'll need
> The chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu flag must be enabled (not enable-webgpu-developer-features). Linux experimental support also requires launching the browser with --enable-features=Vulkan.
Nightly Firefox should have it already.

And OpenGL never supported "threads", so anything using OpenGL can't either.
