Description
vgpu is a TypeScript library for WebGPU: typed shader imports, a tiny gpu-first API, and the same code running in the browser, headless Node, and your test suite.

Could you build this?
No Developing a cross-platform WebGPU framework with headless Node support, typed WGSL shaders, and test harnesses requires deep low-level graphics engineering.
What it would actually take: The library requires building TypeScript abstractions over the browser WebGPU API while implementing native C++/Rust bindings (compiling against Dawn or wgpu-native via N-API) for headless Node.js execution. The hard components are low-level memory allocation, pipeline cache management, cross-driver GPU synchronization across Metal/Vulkan/DirectX, and static WGSL AST parsing for compile-time type safety. It demands specialized systems and graphics programming expertise.
