[ANN] naga v0.17.0 — Pure Go DXIL generator (DirectX 12 shader bytecode)

[a.ko...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone, 

                                
  We just released naga v0.17.0 — our Pure Go shader compiler now generates
  DXIL (DirectX 12 bytecode) directly, without requiring Microsoft's FXC or
  DXC compilers.

  naga compiles WGSL to five backend formats: SPIR-V (Vulkan), MSL (Metal),
  GLSL (OpenGL), HLSL (DirectX 11/12), and now DXIL (DirectX 12 SM 6.0).
  All in Pure Go, zero CGO.

  The DXIL backend implements LLVM 3.7 bitcode generation from scratch —
  no LLVM linking. ~12,500 lines of Go, 190 tests. Verified rendering at
  60 FPS on D3D12.

  Usage:

      import "github.com/gogpu/naga/dxil"

      dxilBytes, err := dxil.Compile(irModule, dxil.DefaultOptions())

  Install:

      go get github.com/gogpu/na...@v0.17.0
