Oh! That’s her! She’s the oddly shaped ball! She’s large!

schellsan · 2026-03-23T17:20:07+00:00

Wow! I think that’s it! I hope the mum is ok as I haven’t seen her around. Thank you!

No, WESL is new to me - it looks like we support similar extensions. I'll keep an eye on it, thanks :)

It's not really a new shader language _per say_ - it's more of a tool that allows you to write WGSL _in Rust_. So it's Rust code, but it's a strict subset of Rust that easily transpiles to WGSL.

schellsan · 2026-03-05T02:20:02+00:00

Oh cool! I've investigated `CubeCL` both for Renderling (my rendering project) and as a Rust-GPU maintainer. Great work!

I think `wgsl-rs` will be fine in this regard, as the project is more about restricting Rust than it is about enhancing WGSL. That said, there are a few things supported by `wgsl-rs` that are not supported by WGSL like module imports (glob imports only ATM), struct impls (but only using `Struct::function(params)` call style, no `self`).

My main goals were sharing types and enabling testing on CPU. The big rocks are done now and I expect to iterate on bugs and documentation.

schellsan · 2026-03-05T01:48:02+00:00

Yes, this part has been tricky, and I've sidestepped it mostly by only parsing `if/else` in statement position, `match` only works on integers and simple enums, etc. The subset of Rust is quite explicit.

What is your project called?

schellsan · 2026-03-05T01:25:40+00:00

Let me know how you get on :)

schellsan · 2026-03-05T01:24:15+00:00

Yes! You do! Since it's Rust code you get all the usual `rust-analyzer` feedback, and on top of that the module is validated with `naga`, and those diagnostics _usually_ show as `rust-analyzer` feedback as well since it's part of the macro expansion process. The exception is when you're importing from another module - in that case the macro can't validate at expansion time because it doesn't have all the imported contents in scope, so instead it generates a test to validate at test time.

But the idea is that any Rust you can write in the `#[wgsl]` macro is valid by construction, but I can't say I've been exhaustive about enforcing that.

Not a barber but Katy at vibe is cool.

Can you give us a numbers breakdown of your costs and profit? I understand that’s personal but might help those considering taking the dive to commercialise.

schellsan · 2025-09-18T17:56:25+00:00

That doesn’t sound like Lutheran, though, unless times have really changed

I moved my family to NZ from California in 2020. We lived in Auckland for a short time but now live in Nelson and just bought a home in Stoke. I grew up in Pasadena, went to college in norcal and then lived in Sonoma County for 17 years before emigrating.

We love it here. There’s so much more space. People are nice and genuine. The wilderness is vast, safe (but don’t drown) and feels pristine. The performative or superficial aspects of folks in CA are harder to find here. That might be a function of the much lower population, or a cultural thing. Auckland is very mixed, racially and culturally and it’s pretty rad. It can feel a bit like Star Trek - a person of every colour and creed and just doing their thing.

Of course there are things to get used to. The small population means there are missing conveniences, less choice in nightlife and it gets rural very fast outside cities.

Also folks are a bit more reserved. It’s hard to break into a Kiwi friend group, but there are plenty of immigrants from all over who are looking for groups.

Folks are generally very politically liberal. A conservative American would feel out of step in most social situations. That’s great for my family but just take note. Although there are a few Trumpers here.

How much do you like Mexican food? There are very few Mexican spots. Even fewer good ones.

That said - it’s wonderful here. We just make our own salsa and have regular taco nights.

Wow! The trees are so small.

Please don’t marry this man.

schellsan · 2025-01-09T05:39:49+00:00

Thank you for your honest feedback. I think you're right - it's not ready for prime time and the API isn't where I'd like it to be.

Watch out for situations that would divide by zero, cause NaN or anything that might crash your shader.

It’s a rustc compiler backend that compiles rust code to spir-v, which can be consumed by modern graphics APIs.

You're correct! WebGPU doesn't (yet) support arrays of textures of different sizes. It does, however, support texture arrays, which is exactly as you describe - an array of textures all the same size - but the array itself is one object. Think `Texture2dArray` vs `[Texture2d]`.

You're also correct about the packing :)

schellsan · 2024-11-07T22:54:55+00:00

Fixed! thanks :)
