Over the course of the last decade, Rust has emerged as a new programming language for writing safe low-level code. I've been contemplating the idea of using it in Mesa for a few years now. Specifically, I'd like to know if it's practical to write a Vulkan driver mostly in Rust and if doing so would bring enough benefit to be worth the effort. This blog post is intended to be the first in a series exploring the area of using Rust to write Mesa Vulkan drivers.

This walkdown (somewhere between a walkthrough and a rundown) is about how I handled loading textures to the GPU using Vulkan in my Rust game engine from scratch!
