I am incredibly proud to announce that #WebGPU on Firefox has _officially_ gotten onto the train for stable release in Firefox 141 on Windows! More details to come when it actually releases, but...I'm so stoked, I couldn't _not_ post about it.

More platforms to come soon, my team hopes.

Hopefully we'll see #bevy / @bevy shipping to Firefox soon, eh?

Earlier this month, @lolaodelola gave a talk on how web standards can unintentionally exclude users—especially those with disabilities or limited tech access.
Through examples like autoplay, frames, #WebGPU, and #CSS carousels, Lola demonstrates how assumptions in design can create barriers.

#WebGPU is an incredibly important API. Not just for browsers, but for GPUs in general.

It forces vendors to converge on common approaches that work across platforms and GPUs, instead of everyone pulling towards their own proprietary APIs and extensions.

It's a unique spec where Apple and Android cooperate. The designs are validated by being implemented by multiple browser vendors, reliably enough to be compatible with sandboxing, across all platforms from Windows to Linux.

Working on STACK, HEAP and reference parameters today…

Working on the next video in my fun C++ intro series! Today, I’m trying to break down how C++ compilation works in the simplest way possible—clear visuals, no fluff, just straight-to-the-point explanations.

When matsuoka-601 dropped his WebGPU fluid simulation demos, they left everyone in awe—pushing the limits of what's possible in the browser with breathtaking realism and incredible performance.

Now, he's been kind enough to take us behind the scenes, breaking down the magic behind the mesmerizing waves, high-performance physics, and real-time rendering!

In the latest #WasmAssembly podcast episode, I host @Mendy and Sean Isom from renderlet who caught me up on the wasi-gfx proposal for #Wasm that they are championing for connecting the worlds of #WebAssembly and #WebGPU.

I joked that over Christmas I would make Perl bindings to WebGPU.

Silly me, someone has already made them. Experimental sure, but wow.

I couldn't continue with #Genuary since I felt a bit overwhelmed, so I will do it during the year. Kind of stressed when I only wanted to have fun. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that I was trying to allocate 800x800 values in memory in #WebGPU, nothing that I haven't done before, but I'm now on #LinuxMint and is not great all the time. The GPU crashed and the computer got frozen for like 5 mins.

Managed to make WebGPU work in Chrome in Linux with these flags

Some stuff doesn't work like the texture video, but I guess I will be able to participate in #Genuary2025

Unforeseen circumstances made me forcefully move to Linux. I was not prepared for this, and kind of bad timing when I wanted to participate in #Genuary2025 with WebGPU. It kind of works on #Firefox, so I have that going for me.

I'm very happy we announced our #WebGPU support in #Unity 6.1! It's been a long but fun road from the first triangle until now. There's still work to do, but it's really exciting to see the things people are starting to create with it!

Unity 6.1 includes #WebGPU support.

WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL), the shader language for WebGPU, also reached the @w3c #CandidateRecommendation status
https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/
#timetoimplement

Shaders are the most important when it comes to rendering in WebGPU. WebGPU Shading Language) lets #developers write shaders for draw commands in the render pipeline and dispatch commands in the compute pipeline exposed by #WebGPU.
