- ⌛ Planned but not started
- ⏩ Not required/applicable
| Implementation |
Status |
| C++ |
✅ |
| Python |
⚠️ (no support for polymorphic constructs) |
| Rust |
🚧 (powerful constructs using proc-macro) |
| C API |
🚧 (for easy bindings in other languages) |
| Custom Script/Shading Language |
⌛ |
| Module |
Status |
| AST |
✅ (to be replaced by IR) |
| IR |
🚧 (inter-convertibility with the AST; maybe optimization passes) |
| AutoDiff |
🚧 (reverse mode; transformation passes on the IR) |
| Module |
Status |
| Device Interface |
🚧 (re-designing bindless resource APIs; support for device property query; support for device-specific extensions) |
| Command |
🚧 (re-designing bindless resource commands; serialization) |
| Command Scheduling |
✅ |
| Interoperability |
🚧 (complete support for native_handle in progress; registration of external resources) |
| GUI Support |
🚧 (re-designing swap-chain APIs) |
| AOT Support |
⌛ (PSO caching and thin runtime) |

🚧 (Designing API) |
| Implementation |
Codegen Status |
Runtime Status |
| CUDA |
✅ |
✅ |
