Intro
Use.GPU is a set of declarative, reactive WebGPU legos. Compose live graphs, layouts, meshes and shaders, on the fly.
It's a stand-alone Typescript+Rust/WASM library with its own React-like run-time. If you're familiar with React, you will feel right at home.
It has a built-in shader linker and binding generator, which means a lot of the tedium of common GPU programming is eliminated, without compromising on flexibility.

Principle
Use.GPU lets you build incremental apps, which respond to arbitrary changes with minimal recomputation.
Similar to React, you use it by composing a tree of components, starting with an <App>:
<App>
<Router>
<Routes>
<MyPage>
<WebGPU>
<AutoCanvas>
<Pass>
</Pass>
</AutoCanvas>
</WebGPU>
</MyPage>
</Routes>
</Router>
</App>
You can nest the Use.GPU components to create complex GPU graphics, with bespoke rendering pipelines. No heavy lifting required.
