  • We Built the First Pure Go DXIL Generator — Because Optimizing the Wrong Path Wasn't Enough
    6 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2026
    We spent weeks studying the DXIL format specifically. Reading the DXIL spec, the LLVM 3.7 bitcode reference, Mesa's implementation, Microsoft's DXC headers, the validator hash proposal. We wrote a detailed architecture document comparing four implementation options. We mapped every dx.op opcode we'd need for vertex and fragment shaders. We designed the package structure, the phased rollout plan, the testing strategy.
