New Vulkan Documentation Website

https://webgpufundamentals.org/ is the best learning material I've found. I've been learning Rust's WGPU and I appreciate that the tutorial uses a different language and a slightly different API[0], it keeps me thinking instead of just copy/pasting.

I never learned OpenGL, but think I will have to eventually refer to some OpenGL material, because there's no WebGPU material except the spec and like 3 incomplete tutorials.

[0]: WebGPU is a JavaScript API, so Rust cannot implement it exactly, but it's very close.

I also used webgpufundamentals.org to learn webgpu native. Only for me I was porting the examples to C. (I also used WGPU as the backend as I find it easier to debug than Dawn.)

I agree it keeps you thinking about how to do things as opposed to just copy pasting. It also helps that the examples are small and in JavaScript so it's easier to figure out the logic that need for them to work.
