Rust Is Hard, Or: The Misery of Mainstream Programming

We'll see how it works out.

WGPU's API is basically Vulkan. It exists mostly to deal with Apple's Metal. Metal has roughly the same feature set as Vulkan, but Apple just had to Think Different and be incompatible. I'm not supporting the Wasm or Android targets. Android and browsers have a different threading model, and I don't want to deal with that at this stage. Linux/Windows/Mac is enough for now.

Thought for the near future - will VR and AR headgear have threads or something more like the processes with some shared shared memory model from Javascript land?

(That video isn't me, it's the Rend3 dev, who also works on WGPU.)

Gaming solved same problem by opting out of Apple rendering API support. ( ahaha ). Those who have to support mobile can't skip it ofc.

I dont work with VR/AR myself so I dont know.
