A comment on WebGPU demos.

Is Apples WebGPU proposal still being actively developed? I haven't seen any signs of life since the initial reveal nearly a year ago, or from Mozilla's Obsidian proposal for that matter.

At least from an outsider's perspective, the only active proposal for a WebGL successor seems to be Googles NXT: https://github.com/google/nxt-standalone

Perhaps this is Mozilla's implementation?

At this point, since there is no consensus on the shape of the API or even the concrete feature set/programming model, we decided to focus on the low-level graphics abstraction layer ([1]) instead of pushing the WebGPU-Servo prototype further. This can change once things clear up a bit.

Obsidian ultimately became WebGPU in servo (the op's link) –https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/pull/11#...
