Yeah, that is why the only working WebGPU implementation for Chrome, from Google, only works on the Mac and Windows platforms, using Metal and DirectX, your favourite APIs.
Anyway, pjmlp, if you have some time, could you please explain how WSL makes sense in a world where SPIR-V already exists?
Both are intended mainly to be compiler targets, and both will need verifiers for use in WebGPU. The main advantages of SPIR-V are that some tooling already exists (as opposed to none), most of the specification is already done, and it will end up being faster with Vulkan. The only advantage I've seen for WSL is that it's text-based, so you can cut and paste pieces of code together more easily. I don't know how that would even fit in with the idea that WSL is meant to be a compiler target, though.
You crossed into personal attack repeatedly in this thread, as well as breaking the site guidelines by making insinuations about shilling/astroturfing. We ban users who do these things. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the spirit of this site when posting here? We'd be grateful.
The person who I was responding to started it, and I view it as a trolling behavior. I'll avoid responding to him to follow the guidelines, but you should focus on the one who started it.
Having an individual block function could be useful, to simply filter our comments by such user.
It always feels like the other person started it. Maybe their behavior was egregious and I missed it (we don't come close to seeing all the posts here), but even in that case, we need you to stick to the guidelines no matter how badly another commenter behaves.
Those with actual experience in games industry, in whatever way.
IGDA members, attending GDC, going to PAX, local indie games conventions, having been inside AAA studios, knowing names in the industry, meetups at local games design university.
You keep avoiding actual subjects in the discussion while making flamebait posts. That is demagoguery and flaming at best or trolling at worst. Don't waste other people's time.
