Processing shaders in Rust with Dzmitry Malyshau [Virtual] Oct. 2021

The talk will include an overview of different ways Rust community translates shaders, focusing on SPIR-V->Metal and GLSL->SPIR-V paths. We'll explain how existing tools, being wrappers of C libraries backed by some of the Khronos members, are sub-optimal for Rust use. Finally, we'll demonstrate how a pure-Rust shader processor Naga helped to solve these issues, and even started benefiting non-Rust applications.
