I've been very impressed by Slang as an open source project. The development team is quick to respond to issues and review pull requests. It's clear from their repository and their presentations that they take Slang seriously as a user-facing project, not a research demo.
- pjmlp 2y agoSeveral commercial products are already using Slang, it has moved beyond research demo for quite some time now. The main difference, with something like Cg, is that now it isn't NVidia only.
