I'm creating this ticket to get other people's opinions on implementing hlsl syntax in the script and text editor.
the goal would be to be able to write and execute custom hlsl shaders in blender. This language is widespread in the industry, particularly that of video games. but before starting development I wanted to collect opinions or advice on the subject

The biggest issue I see is that there is currently no way to use HLSL in Blender to compile a shader or a script node.
So I don't see the incentive at all.

The only use-case I can think of is when using an external engine in the viewport that does support HLSL but that's quite niche.

I had a discussion with Jeroen on this subject and it seemed that the implementation was far from being easy in the end and quite badly supported on many OpenGL implementation. So I'm pretty sure this will only apply to Vulkan which is only planned for the end of the year (first working version). So it isn't something I would recommend to work on until then.

ok I will talk about it when vulkan is functional.
