Use Naga for shader compilation
This would make the entire tech stack pure Rust, it would also make it easier to compile the shaders, no more reliance on external and no more Makefile.toml
Since wgpu now uses naga for all of it's shader compilation/ translation needs I think its stable and feature rich enough to be used here as well, admittedly wgpu's shaders are written in WGSL and these are GLSL, but according to naga's readme, their GLSL front-end is supported
If naga fails to compile all the shaders, this issue could be used as a tracker (that is, if we decide to use naga of course)
This is definitely on my radar, and long term will likely end up switching over to WGSL entirely. That being said, the gpu mode is still completely unsupported by naga because I use descriptor indexing, so I need the ability to use SPIRV_PASSTHROUGH and an independent shader compiler. It will be possible to support in naga, will just take a lot of work.
Just posting to say thanks for putting the spirv's in the repo so we don't need shaderc.
As of the wasm bench being merged, we still write all shaders in glsl and use shaderc to convert to spirv, but we now use Naga to convert the spirv to wgsl to give it to wgpu. This is a first step towards using Naga for everything.
