Slang shading language and tooling is now a Khronos project (was an nvidia project for past umpteen years). This is exciting! GLSL seems to be frozen with no future, whereas Slang is not only actively developed, but also brings in a lot of language features that sound useful. Nice! https://shader-slang.com/blog/2024/11/20/theres-a-lot-going-on-with-slang/
There’s a lot going on with Slang!

@aras It is officially frozen, Khronos has mentioned in several talks they don't have budget to improve GLSL, and the community should look for alternatives that target SPIR-V.
@progtools yeah, so that’s why I’m excited. HLSL has competition!
