Hey guys I was curious if there were any plans on using wgpu?

I personally don't have plans beyond providing maintenance and reviewing PRs. Out of curiosity, what benefit(s) do you see in changing the backend to wgpu? Is there a particular platform you want to support?

@donkeyteethUX Isn't opengl not as performant as wgpu as wgpu can translate to vulkan which has more performance?

Yeah vulkan would probably be more performant than opengl. Performance is already pretty decent for many use-cases, and optimal performance has never been a top priority of the project (elaborated in the README).
