Abstract

A WebGPU rendering backend has been implemented for the parametric modeling tool Math2Model in Rust. Having the rendering backend written in Rust (instead of TypeScript) allows using profiling tools, Rust libraries, and a strongly typed and safe programming language---for developing a web application.
