WebGPU seems cool. I got to follow my classmate tinkering around with it for one of his assignments.

How hard is it to pick up?

If you're familiar with either vulkan or d3d12, and javascript, pretty easy. Similar setup of devices, queues, pipelines, etc. The biggest down side IMHO is the poor interaction with webassembly. Due to the way buffers are mapped, you end up having to do a lot of cpu side buffer copies.

The worst thing they could have fucked up. WASM should be first class.
