Re: Is anyone familiar with WebGPU? Mohammed 08:22 Jun 04  
 
Hi
I was able to get FLTK to run with WebGPU using the wgpu crate (Rust). It’s an implementation of the WebGPU api in Rust. It actually doesn’t require anything but passing the window’s raw handle to wgpu, then using wgpu calls to eventually draw.

Kitware (of CMake fame among others) is starting experimenting with
WebGPU as a replacement to OpenGL in their VTK library.

Is this on anyone's radar? If this ends up working, it could be the
answer to the mess Apple, Microsoft and the Khronos group made with all
their competing APIs and it could bring the web and the desktop together
at last.

I don't really see the point. "We have to use translation libraries for
WebGPU" is little improvement over "we have to use translation
libraries for opengl". At least opengl is standard and has wide support.
