@mcc I don’t think details will come out publicly but I want the inside scoop for what happened on WebKit shipping WebGPU behind a flag in 2019 but then pulling it a year or so later. I’m guessing someone had an unfun 2022 trying to get that back on track.

@acdha 2019 WebGPU was extremely incompatible with 2023 WebGPU tho

@mcc a little searching also suggests that they had a fair amount of work moving from the first in-process design, which could certainly explain it. Just feels surprisingly under-staffed given all of the other things they shipped.
