This is really awesome. Tested it on both Nvidia and Mac GPUs. Interested to know how debugging in a real application would work since WASM is pretty hard to debug and GPU code is pretty hard to debug. I assume WASM GPU is ... very difficult to debug.
Firefox supports WebGPU, but needs a setting in about:config. I enabled the setting but HipScript still denies running on Firefox with the message: "Please try a Chromium-based browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge." Please do feature detection, not browser detection.
I do do feature detection—WebGPU is blocked on Release Firefox regardless of config, you'll need nightly. It does support Safari with its experimental mode enabled for example.
Edit: on Nightly `navigator.gpu` is available, I checked that in the console.
