This looks really impressive! Given that Rust -> WebAssembly is at least a thing, would it be plausible for someone to make that rusty-shooter demo work in a browser?

There is also a problem with rg3d-sound - it supports only Windows and Linux right now. So there will be no sound on other OSes. I've tried to add at least macOS backend by myself, but I failed all attempts to install macOS on virtual machine :(

Hey what about someone donate a Mac to mrDIMAS? Might pay back =)

you're someone

If you have a computer with linux, this kind of things could help: https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM

Following the Hackint0sh on Virtualbox tutorial worked for me, about 2 years ago though.

The graphics code would have to be ported to WebGL, and then there might be an extra hurdle getting WASM to talk to WebGL directly. But it's doable, yes.

Rust with WebGL is pretty seamless today.

I wrote a game for a gamejam using Rust, Wasm, and WebGL without any engine: https://kettlecorn.itch.io/wonder

It makes use of ‘glow’, a Rust library that lets you write regular OpenGL code that runs across desktop, mobile, and web: https://github.com/grovesNL/glow

References are almost in, by next year you can probably already talk directly to WebGL.
