While Special Effects Programming with WebGPU makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to wgsl. That said, the sections on shader are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Special Effects Programming with WebGPU is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of simulation is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

Can someone help me understand wgsl from chapter 11? I'm struggling to see how it connects to wgsl.
