The problem is why can't I just program in whatever language I want, like we knew how to do in the 1970s, then gave up that capability for some reason. Re SPIR-V, come on, the corporate politics there are clear as day. You know they wouldn't "fight back" against MSL, even if
in an alternate reality where MSL is exactly what SPIR-V is in this reality.
Wait, now I’m not sure I get what you mean by “program in whatever I want”. None of us are going to write the shader in webgpu’s lang, we’ll just use a transpiler, just like most modern shader dev, right? Don’t you already do this for games that you want to run on Mac now?
Yes and it is stupid. I am saying, all of this is a mistake.
No, Apple was completely opposed to using any kind of intermediate or binary representation. They *insisted* on a new *text* source language for WebGPU. And they have veto power over web standards, due to the monopoly they maintain over iOS browsers, so they got what they wanted.
They could have proposed an alternative intermediate representation, like their own "AIR" or Microsoft's DXIL, if that's what they wanted. But they didn't. They would not accept anything other than a new language.
