I'm not sure how to read "with primary reliance on an industry-adopted tool". That seems to leave the door open to a mechanism based on a closed-source and commercial tool, provided it is widely adopted by the industry. Is that intended? Or is the goal rather to build on top of an open-source and free-to-use tool so that the community can leverage this work more easily?

@tidoust Exactly, I am sorry for wording there. Would explicitly mentioning open-source and such aim help?

@tidoust I've tried to rephrase a bit

A possible addition might be similar to the API side we make an explicit point about representability in the shading languages of modern APIs. This currently could be read as WGSL will be compiled directly to machine code, but I might be trying to view it too naively for the purpose of reviewing.

@alan-baker The actual WG charter might be a better place for the feedback- I am just reflecting that in this case! thank you cc: @tidoust

Sync'd with the upstream WG charter. thanks @alan-baker for moving it there |
This PR synchronizes WGSL-related portions of the CG charter with the upcoming (to-be-merged) WG charter. One important difference is the mention of grammar-checking facilities. @dneto0 @alan-baker WDYT?
Thank you!
