Is Apples WebGPU proposal still being actively developed? I haven't seen any signs of life since the initial reveal nearly a year ago, or from Mozilla's Obsidian proposal for that matter. At least from an outsider's perspective, the only active proposal for a WebGL successor seems to be Googles NXT: https://github.com/google/nxt-standalone https://github.com/google/nxt-standalone

Perhaps this is Mozilla's implementation? https://github.com/kvark/webgpu-servo https://github.com/kvark/webgpu-servo

  No, Mozilla's is Obsidian: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/tree/master/Obsidian-Mozilla https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/tree/mas...

    Obsidian ultimately became WebGPU in servo (the op's link) –https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/pull/11#issuecomment-346517188 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/pull/11#...

  At this point, since there is no consensus on the shape of the API or even the concrete feature set/programming model, we decided to focus on the low-level graphics abstraction layer ([1]) instead of pushing the WebGPU-Servo prototype further. This can change once things clear up a bit. [1] http://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx http://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx
