   What's the status of the #WebGPU standard? Why is it still a draft? Is there a roadmap or something?

     @michael It's not clear to me how long it will take for the #WebGPU spec to get finalized:

     @codewiz so from what I’ve heard, chrome/chromium has official support as of a few months ago, but not the full spec quite yet, and safari and Mozilla are lagging behind, but it should be fully adopted by next year.

     Safari had it behind a dev flag but removed it for unknown reasons.

     Bonus: there’s a proposed spec for #webxr bindings to utilize #WebGPU for sometime after it’s made it onto the headset browsers.
