sky-sl

🚧 work in progress 🚧

A rusty shading language experiment.

scope

The project, at least for now, is just an experiment

goals

• SPIR-V output (at first via glsl and shaderc)
• VScode integration via Language Server Protocol, similar to rust-analyzer
• Compiler as a library to integrate with asset systems
• CLI to:
  • build all shaders in a package
• A workspace API to:
  • Query shaders and data layouts
  • Create code fragments (either source code, or emit some IR, depends on what has better UX)
• Some sort of integration with regular rust code, to add some type safety between CPU and GPU data types

maybe-goals

• WGSL output
• output compatibility with naga if the sky-sl project gets more serious

non-goals

• Optimizing compiler (we'll rely on SPIR-V tools)

language server

Currently only runs in VSCode extension development environment and lacks any build process to generate an extension.

working features

• Outline
• Semantic highlighting (must be enabled in your theme)
