Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?

• DirectXShaderCompiler

  33 2,939 0.0 C++

  This repo hosts the source for the DirectX Shader Compiler which is based on LLVM/Clang.

  

> We may support DXBC generation in Clang in the future (we mentioned that in the original proposal to LLVM). That work is unlikely to begin for a few years as our focus will be on supporting DXIL and SPIR-V generation first.

I appreciate this quote[0] from the microsoft camp. Setting clear expectations that something will not be done is a nice bit of fresh air.

• wgpu

  197 11,164 9.9 Rust

  A cross-platform, safe, pure-Rust graphics API.

  

And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.
