About the project

A cross-platform, safe, pure-Rust graphics API implementing the WebGPU standard and running on Vulkan, Metal, D3D12, OpenGL, WebGL2 and WebGPU. It powers graphics in Firefox, Servo, and Deno.

Useful for
  • Write a renderer or game in Rust with a single API for Windows, Linux, macOS and WebAssembly
  • Run the wgpu examples via cargo run --bin wgpu-examples to learn the graphics pipeline
  • Use wgpu-native C bindings to work with WebGPU from C, C++ or other languages

1.4 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 25, 2026, 10:07 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 1 star so far today, about 5 expected by the end of the day.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
