#MiniApps are small, install-free, fast-loading programs that run inside a larger native application or directly run in the operating system. They leverage both Web technologies like #CSS and #JavaScript and the capabilities of native apps.

Better and faster! #WebGPU takes #WebGL to the next level, providing a common abstraction over Vulkan, Metal and DirectX to leverage modern GPUs capabilities. 2D/3D rendering, general computing using the GPU (AI/ML, media processing, …) Soon in a nearby browser! #timetogiveinput https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1394554930703253505

#WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language) lets developers write shaders for draw commands in the render pipeline and dispatch commands in the compute pipeline exposed by WebGPU. This textual shading language is web-friendly & directly mappable to @thekhronosgroup 's SPIR-V binary language.

The work on these specs is happening - as usual - on github https://github.com/gpuweb
