NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

wgpu is a graphics library for Rust based on the WebGPU API, notable for its capacity to handle general-purpose graphics and compute tasks on the GPU efficiently. wgpu aims to fill the gap left by the phasing out of older graphics standards such as OpenGL and WebGL. It introduces a modern approach to graphics development that spans both native applications and web-based projects. Its integration with WebAssembly further enables graphics and compute applications to run in the browser. wgpu represents a step forward in making advanced graphics programming more accessible to web developers with a range of applications, from gaming to creating sophisticated web animations, positioning wgpu as an exciting technology to assess.
