Check out WebGPU https://web.dev/gpu/

I think you meant to say "WebGPU" instead of "WebGL" here :)

Why is WebGPU a thing rather than just exposing Vulkan in the browser?

WebGPU? https://web.dev/gpu/

oh nice, webGPU thing should learn sometime!

SeanAnderson Nov 22, 2023 View on HN

How does this sentiment align with the advent of WebGPU?

Narishma Nov 28, 2023 View on HN

Ok but you don't need WebGPU for those things, WebGL should be fine.

The WebGPU spec itself is not yet confirmed AFAIK. Thus no browser has a stable support.

Is WebGPU ready? It's been a bit, but last time I looked it was pretty unstable and not well supported.

WebGPU is not yet available in the default config of Linux browsers, so WebGL would have been perfect :)
