wgpu "minimal"

This is an unmaintained fork of the WGPU project that aims to reduce the compiled binary size by removing removing some API options, and targeting modern GPUs only.

WGPU itself is an implementation of WebGPU API in Rust, targeting both native and the Web.

This fork not intended for general use. It's barely tested and might only work with a specific project setup. It does, however, reduce the binary size in one program from ~7MB to ~1.5MB.

Changes compared to the official WGPU

• Only support the most modern graphics backend for each platform:

  • Windows: Vulkan
  • Unix: Vulkan
  • macOS/iOS: Metal
  • WASM: WebGL

• Only support the WGSL input format for shaders
