As mentioned by flohofwoe in the parent comment, Dawn and wgpu are both native implementations of WebGPU for use outside the browser. In particular wgpu-rs will allow users to target both the browser API and run natively.

Dawn and wgpu are also collaborating on a common set of native headers (https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers) to make it easy to switch between implementations.
