 [naga] has seen a lot of improvements in the SPIR-V and WGSL parsing, as well
 as backend code generation. Most importantly, it now fully validates both

+[wgpu] is a [WebGPU] implementation in Rust. It is safe, efficient,
+and portable: can target both native (Vulkan/D3D/Metal) and the Web.
+
+The team has rolled out gfx-hal-0.8 and wgpu-0.8 updates on crates!
+Read [gfx-release-blog] for more details.
+
+In April, the team implemented more validation on both the host and the shader
+sides. [Naga]'s coverage of SPIR-V and MSL features is also greately improved.
+
+On the infrastructure side, [wgpu] integrated [profiling] and got the first
+[naga performance] numbers, which looked promising.
