DEVELOPMENT OF DIRECT3D 12 GRAPHICS API BINDINGS LIBRARY FOR RUST
Keywords:
Direct3D 12, Rust, graphics APIsAbstract
Nowadays C++ and, to a lesser extent, C programming languages vastly dominate the area of graphics programming. As a result, modern graphics APIs are tailored for interacting with these languages only, which makes development in other programming languages difficult or impossible. The article examines the development of Direct3D 12 API bindings for Rust, highlights the main issues this project aims to resolve, evaluates the approaches to building more idiomatic APIs, and provides library usage examples.
