Khronos Announces Slang Initiative From Open-Source NVIDIA Code


On top of an exciting Vulkan spec update out today, The Khronos Group has announced the Slang Initiative based on NVIDIA's open-source Slang compiler code.

Hosting under multi-company governance at Khronos will enable and foster industry-wide collaboration to drive Slang’s continued evolution. Hosted on GitHub and licensed under Apache 2.0, the Slang open-source project will follow best practices for technical development while fostering an active, self-governing contributor community. Contributors can influence language design, improve the codebase, and address bugs, with opportunities to earn elevated rights within the project—independent of Khronos membership."
