Use Cases & Benefits
- Compiles Rust code into SPIR-V to enable writing GPU shaders using Rust as a first-class language.
- Provides Rust's safety, module system, and tooling benefits for GPU shader development, unlike traditional shading languages.
- Use for developing type-safe, high-performance Vulkan-compatible graphics and compute shaders in Rust.
- Use for sharing and reusing code between CPU and GPU in Rust projects to streamline development workflows.
- Use for experimenting with GPU shader programming in Rust during early-stage graphics research and prototyping.

From the README
Rust as a first-class language and ecosystem for GPU graphics & compute shaders
Note: This project is still heavily in development and is at an early stage.
Compiling and running simple shaders works, and a significant portion of the core library also compiles.
However, many things aren't implemented yet. That means that while being technically usable, this project is not yet production-ready.
See the examples for full details.
