WebGPU and WSL in Safari
As a cross-platform graphics developer who is currently knee-deep in papering over platform incompatibilities, what I mostly care about at this point is <i>compatibility</i>. I don't care about shader size or compilation time, as long as both are reasonable. I <i>do</i> care about having yet another shading language to cross-compile to.<p>Please, everyone, just use something that already exists. It is frustrating how the big players constantly use new and incompatible graphics APIs to try to obtain some sort of competitive advantage, adding to the workload we developers have to deal with. There is almost no cost to the platform developers to add new APIs; instead, the costs are borne by the application developers. It's a classic case of negative externalities.
