Except it wasn't designed to be an "optimal target for SPIR-V" -- it was designed by Apple according to Metal's semantics, to promote Metal over Vulkan, and had to be rejiggered. It's worse, by your standard, than existing, battle-proven GLSL/HLSL toolchains.

This is not correct. The WGSL is renamed from Tint, which is a Google's proposal for a shading language, in agreement with all parties.
