	Several commercial products are already using Slang, it has moved beyond research demo for quite some time now. The main difference, with something like Cg, is that now it isn't NVidia only.

I have known about slang for some time but hadn’t heard about these commercial products.

Can you elaborate?

From Vulkanised 2024,

Omniverse, Portal RTX, RTX Remix, Source 2 shading infrastructure,

His is misleading. Three of these are Nvidia related technologies, and Valve is _planning_ to migrate Source 2'a shader compiler to Slang.

Doesn't matter who is the owner of said technologies, they are products, not research stuff without customers.

"Migrated" is past tense, not something yet to be planned.

Thanks!
