brometal.devInfrastructure

BroMetal is a WebGPU graphics library that lets developers write shaders as typed TypeScript functions. A build step compiles the TypeScript DSL into WGSL ahead of time, producing small, optimized modules with no shader compiler or scene graph shipped to the browser. The runtime is extremely lightweight (around 7-19 KB gzipped), enabling instant first-frame rendering. It is designed for developers who want full control over their shaders in a modern TypeScript-first workflow.
