There is no WebGPU dialect of GLSL, only a SPIR-V execution environment for WebGPU. Lnaguages in themselves aren't "safe" or "unsafe", their implementations are

Also please stop trying to influence a technical debate in a standardization group by putting blog posts on top of Hacker News.
- saamyjoon 7y agoYou're absolutely wrong here. A language must specify its semantics. Those semantics describe the safety properties of that language.
- om2 7y agoSorry, I meant WebGL, simply mistyped. As far as posting blog posts, we think this is just as fair as the Chrome team's communication about their own WebGPU implementation, which included a public demo and sessions at Google I/O which were widely reported. As for the post getting upvoted to the top of Hacker News, that's the community's choice, not ours. The initial poster wasn't even an Apple person (afaik). If you are insinuating some kind of vote manipulation then that is inaccurate.
