<em>Sky example in Rust GPU</em></p>
730+
<p><a href="https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu">Rust GPU</a> is a project backed by <a href="https://www.embark-studios.com/">Embark Studios</a>
731+
to make Rust a first-class language and ecosystem for building GPU code.</p>
732+
<p>Although still in very early stages of development,
733+
<a href="https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/releases/tag/v0.1">Rust GPU released v0.1 in October</a>,
734+
and has already garnered over 2000 stars on Github.
735+
Currently, compiling and running very simple shaders
736+
works, and a significant portion of the core library also compiles. While things
737+
like if-statements and while-loops are working, many things aren't implemented yet.
738+
For example, for-loops, iterators and match/switch aren't supported yet. That
739+
means that while being technically usable, Rust GPU is far from being
740+
production-ready.</p>
741+
<p>The motivation behind the project:</p>
742+
<blockquote>
743+
<p>Historically in games, GPU programming has been done through writing either
744+
HLSL, or to a lesser extent GLSL. These are simple programming languages that
745+
have evolved along with rendering APIs over the years. However, as game engines
746+
have evolved, these languages have failed to provide mechanisms for dealing with
747+
large codebases, and have generally stayed behind the curve compared to other
748+
programming languages.</p>
749+
<p>In part this is because it's a niche language for a niche market, and in part
750+
this has been because the industry as a whole has sunk quite a lot of time and
751+
effort into the status quo. While over-all better alternatives to both languages
752+
exist, none of them are in a place to replace HLSL or GLSL. Either because they
753+
are vendor locked, or because they don't support the traditional graphics
754+
pipeline. Examples of this include CUDA and OpenCL. And while attempts have been
755+
made to create language in this space, none of them have gained any notable
756+
traction in the gamedev community.</p>
