Marked “urgent” even. I wonder why?

Urgent just means triage

Would any graphics programmer be willing to go more into detail about what SPIR-V backend + glsl means within the Zig ecosystem. I understand one is an Intermediate Representation and I understand the second is a shader language (?)

Does zig want to allow shader code to be run on GPUs to be entirely written in Zig?

not a graphics programmer, but I’m pretty sure this is one of zig’s ambition, to be usable as a shading language at least there’s an ofmt=spirv option when emiting code.
