    Honestly the project has had >1000 contributors over the past 8 years and a lot of them did just that.

    We had a summer of code student implementing support in Servo: https://blog.servo.org/2020/08/30/gsoc-webgpu/

    Servo currently incorporates a network stack, a JS engine, the DOM, JS APIs, an HTML parser, a CSS styling engine, graphical rendering, media parsing and playback, etc. It is not a…
