Welcome to the 16th issue of the Rust GameDev Workgroup's monthly newsletter. Rust is a systems language pursuing the trifecta: safety, concurrency, and speed. These goals are well-aligned with game development. We hope to build an inviting ecosystem for anyone wishing to use Rust in their development process! Want to get involved? Join the Rust GameDev working group!

The gfx-rs team has published a gfx-post providing the overview of all projects in the works, and how they are connected to each other.
wgpu has moved from gfx-extras to the new [gpu-alloc] and [gpu-descriptor]
libraries by @zakarumych. These are backend-agnostic, which allows wgpu
to now depend on gfx-hal directly without intermediates. Patching gfx-rs
will now be easier, without the need to release every little change.
Finally, all the latest wgpu code has landed into Gecko, and new features and fixes are implemented in Firefox. That allows it to run most of the updated [WebGPU samples].
That's all news for today, thanks for reading!
