Add bindings for Tint about silk.net HOT 6 OPEN

I dont feel Tint bindings are necessary. Both Dawn and wgpu-native are able to intake SPIRV directly without a conversion since Tint and Naga are builtin to the libraries. This doesnt cover the manually translating WGSL -> SPIRV case, however i dont believe that case would be very common, or has many uses.

With shaderc + wpgu-native/dawn, you can already compile GLSL to SPIRV, then pass that SPIRV into the respective implementation directly.

What about WASM?

What about WASM?

Both google and mozilla have shown interest in providing this to JS as well through an extension. I believe it already works with chromium behind the "unsafe webgpu support" flag (webgpu itself is also still behind said flag on some platforms on chromium, so thats doesnt mean much)

In either case, you probably dont want to be packing many-megabyte shader compilation and translation libraries into your game's WASM build, and should do any shader translations offline as a build step

What about WebKit?

What about WebKit?

Not sure about webkit, however it is extremely unlikely they will provide SPIRV support given apple is probably a very large reason we arent using SPIRV on WebGPU as the standard in the first place.

In that case it would make sense to provide Tint/Naga bindings, but we should try to steer users away from doing this at runtime in their WASM builds as much as possible, given the huge inefficiencies at play here in a web environment

Yeah absolutely agree.
