Description
The metal
crate has been around for a while now and was historically maintained by the teams of gfx pre-ll
/gfx-hal
(legacy) and wgpu
(current). wgpu
is planning to switch over to objc2
though, so that will remove one of the biggest maintainers of this crate.
As a maintainer, I'm happy to continue maintaining metal
where it makes sense, but I'd like to start recommending that people switch over to obj2-metal
. I'd like to add this at the beginning of the README to start directing people there. Many of the other crates in the ecosystem have already started to switch over (e.g., winit
uses objc2
), so I'd like to help push this forward while giving people some time to gradually transition from metal
.
If anyone has concerns about recommending objc2-metal
and metal
maintenance, let's discuss them here.
