Shadeup will try to fit it all into one command encoder but may need to split if the coder:
1. Manually flushes
2. Reads/downloads a buffer on the CPU
Most calls are lazily evaluated, and a small dep graph is built as you reference/draw things.
That being said, shadeup does make some perf sacrifices in the name of simplicity. I'd say it's well suited to prototyping and learning. Of course, once you have a working prototype of something porting it to native wgsl should be easy
Have you thought about having an "eject" command? For example, Create React App had an eject command to go from the self-contained version to a full customisable Webpack app.
Users can already kinda do this by showing the compiled output, but the js engine itself is still tucked away. At some point, I would probably have a tree shaken full output for each shadeup.
