The features you mention are mostly applications of compute shaders, which are fully capable of being written in WebGPU, as WebGPU supports buffer -> buffer compute shaders when the underlying GPU supports it.

I've personally implemented mesh shaders in my own project, and there are plenty of examples of WebGPU real time raytracers out there. DirectStorage I had to google and it looks like a Windows DMA framework for loading assets directly to GPU ram? That's not even in scope for WebGPU, and would be handled by platform libraries. Linux has supported it for ages.

Seriously I get the impression from your posts that really don't have any experience with WebGPU at all, and are basing your understanding off of misinformation circulating in other communities. Especially with your continued nonsensical statements about not supporting "post-2015 features." 2015-era chipsets are a minimum supported feature set, not a maximum.

Please just take the L and read up to inform yourself about WebGPU before criticizing it more.

I bet those implementation of yours weren't done in WebGPU actually running on the browser, otherwise I would greatly appreciate being corrected with an URL.

DirectStorage started as a Windows feature, is actually quite common in game consoles, and there is ongoing work to expose similar functionality in Vulkan.

Yes, I do have WebGPU experience and have already contributed to BabylonJS a couple of times.

Maybe I do actually know one or two things about graphics APIs.

WebGPU is not a browser API. It is a lower level API with official, supported implementations in C++ and Rust with zero browser dependencies. See for example:

Yes it is exposed to Javascript applications by browsers that support it, much like WebGL exposes OpenGL ES. But that’s a separate thing.
