I've been wondering for a long time when we might expect to see a stable WebGPU API in all major browsers (mostly concerned with my daily browser, Firefox), so I've been looking for an official message on the topic. Deno claims the spec is ready
> The [WebGPU] spec has been finalized
but the official WebGPU spec [1] still describes it as a draft. Have I misinterpreted something here or is there some missing context around Deno's statement?

- fulafel 3y agoThere seem to be no current 1.0 discussions yet on the GitHub prpject, seems possible it's a mistake at the Deno end.

- edflsafoiewq 3y agoThe question is, is it still going to change?
- flohofwoe 3y agoMinor things probably yes (for instance check the "What's new in WebGPU (Chrome xxx)" articles here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/webgpu https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/webgpu), breaking changes probably not.
- Jasper_ 3y agoIn the W3C process, in order for a TR to upgrade from a Draft to a finished specification, it needs two shipping implementations. Firefox and Safari are both working on theirs. We hope the only changes involved in this process will be minor and/or editorial. Once a second implementation ships, it will move out of draft.
