-This is an experimental [WebGPU](https://www.w3.org/community/gpu/) implementation, exposing both Rust and C interfaces as a native static library. It's written in Rust and is based on [gfx-hal](https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx) and a few [Rendy](https://github.com/amethyst/rendy) bits. See the upstream [WebGPU specification](https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/) (work in progress).
