▐ Lovely curated list of WebGPU resources, libraries and tools.

WebGPU is a work in progress Web standard from W3C (https://www.w3.org/) for modern 3D and GPU computing. Its purpose is to get the best performances on recent GPUs from desktop to mobile. Unlike WebGL, WebGPU is not a port of an existing native 
API. It borrows concepts from Metal, Vulkan and Direct3D12.
