naga-rust-back: translate shaders to Rust

naga backend allowing you to translate shader (GPU) code in any language supported by Naga to Rust code.

The generated code requires the naga-rust-rt library. Alternatively, you can use naga-rust-embed, which combines this library with naga-rust-rt and provides convenient macros for embedding translated WGSL in your Rust code.

This library is in an early stage of development and many features do not work yet. Expect compilation failures, incorrect behaviors, and to have to tweak your code to fit, if you wish to use them. Broadly:

• Simple mathematical functions will work.
• Code involving pointers is likely to fail to compile.
• Textures are supported but texture filtering is not.
• Storage buffers are not supported.
• Atomics, derivatives, and workgroup operations are not supported.
• Pipelines involving multiple shaders (e.g. passing data from vertex to fragment) are not automatically executed but you can build that yourself.
