wgpu-rs

I think Rust and Haskell, due to their irrelevance in industry and general "nerdiness", attract a certain type of hacker. Specifically I've noticed that there are some libraries for both languages that are just so good that they make you never want to use anything else. One example in Haskell is Megaparsec [0], by far the best point in the parser framework design-space I'm aware of. An example in Rust is wgpu-rs, which maybe isn't "all the way there" yet but is already turning into a very ergonomic low-level rendering API. Although I haven't used them, I think piet-gpu and pathfinder may be in this category also. I don't have a link handy but I remember seeing a tweet from the developer of Pathfinder where he was reverse-engineering MacOS's idiosyncratic font rendering so he could generate identical-looking output as the native renderer.

There are lots of options for graphics in Rust, so it's really just a choice of which graphics API you'd like to use or learn more about. (full disclosure: I contribute to some of these crates) For example, there is an implementation of WebGPU (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs) that can run both inside and outside of the browser that has been growing in popularity lately. There are also bindings for Vulkan (ash, erupt), D3D12 (d3d12-rs), Metal (metal-rs), cross-platform abstractions at various levels (gfx-hal, wgpu), OpenGL (glow, glium), etc. It's also possible to simply render graphics to an image (a pretty common approach for Raytracing in One Weekend) or blit pixels onto a window surface.
