Submission + - Rust-GPU now supports SPIR-V ray-tracing (github.com)
guest reader writes: New release of Rust-GPU supports SPIR-V ray-tracing.
Rust-GPU project aims at making Rust a first class language and ecosystem for GPU programming.
GPU programming has historically been done with HLSL or GLSL, simple programming languages that have evolved along with rendering APIs over the years. However, as game engines have evolved, these languages have failed to provide mechanisms for dealing with large codebases, and have generally stayed behind the curve compared to other programming languages.
Our hope with this project is that we push the industry forward by bringing Rust, an existing low-level, safe, and high performance language, to the GPU. And with it come some additional great benefits: a package/module system that's one of the industry's best, built in safety against race-conditions or out of bounds memory access, a wide range of libraries and tools to improve programmer workflows, and many others!
