This looks useful but I'm worried about portability. Are there any plans for native Windows support?

Windows should work since WebGPU can target DirectX or Vulkan and it should be possible to build in WSL.

However I was planning to announce next week after I've had a chance to test with my Windows-using colleagues and this thread came early, so it's possible we'll run into some hiccups.

I would say most people would not consider WSL to be "Windows".

Put it this way: Can I build an executable using this, that I could confidently give to a Windows user who has never heard of WSL?

Fair enough - I don't think there's any hard blockers to doing this, but to get the same QoL we'll want to add a dawn dll to the available prebuilt binaries and adjust the download script.

Will look into this in the coming weeks (or if anyone is up for contributing let us know).
