This is pretty cool - great to see what a small codebase can do with raw WebGL. Have you looked at WebGPU at all?

Working fine for me on Firefox - their WebGL support tends to be good enough, although there are plenty of other resource issues.

This is awesome! The dev loop for web apps is kind of broken - really cool that you can keep this running in a browser.

Yes! You should be able to get nearly native performance for that sort of pipeline out of a WebGL backend.

Can you utilize streaming compilation of the Wasm modules? This significantly improved load times in Photoshop Web.

GPU processes are separated due to driver instability and unsafe code, so this means more than a GPU process crash, or a content process crash (tab crashed), something in the orche…

Just wander itself is almost working in a browser - kind of hacked together right now, but will be pushed to the open-source soon. The same Wasm payload should be able to run in th…

Anybody remember COM? Yes, this is certainly not a new problem.

Keeping it high level - No, the goal is not to create a C++ API to give you GPU functions. The C++ API for wander is used to embed the WebAssembly module of graphics code into the …

Great suggestion, appreciate it. wgpu is coming!

More of a comment on how apps are being built in the future - web-first is becoming the default. I already see web even taking over in things like embedded UIs where native toolkit…

Appreciate it. It's coming! I want to get the compiler working and generally available and everything working seamlessly for Web first. Stay tuned!

Interesting! Had never heard of it before, will check it out. The point of Haxe seems to be as a meta-compiler to generate code for a bunch of different languages/compilers? The sa…

That's exactly it. With renderlet, the goal is to compile the "frontend" code that's driving the rendering pipeline to WebAssembly, and provide a runtime that embeds that in any ap…

This is awesome! I'm not fluent with Flutter/Dart but would like to dig in to how the build / Wasm packaging works. The state of shared memory for Wasm is not great, although raw S…

Not much yet! :) The renderlet is a bundle of WebAssembly code that handles data flow for graphics objects. Input is just function parameters, output writes serialized data to a sp…

I haven't worked with stereo setups with this codebase yet, but as it is just wrapping underlying platform-specific GPU APIs, it should be a similar performance profile. On average…

Lots of interesting points in there, and working on Bevy I'm sure you have much more extensive WebGPU expertise than me. I agree that the feature set around WebGPU is constrained a…

> Currently it is the low level, cross platform layer that is the most complex and the biggest hurdle towards making a game engine viable I couldn't agree more. My goal is not to s…

Got it, thanks. Not what I was expecting. To me, this reads like the intersection of "Web Components as Wasm" and "The Browser as an OS" - almost something analogous to WASI as bro…

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O…

I think Godot is the closest thing to this today, and I agree, would love to work with them! Particularly on the Wasm and packaging side of things.

This right here. The web is the OS of the future - the standards are getting there, the tools are just starting to catch up.

I'm probably the worst person to ask for advice about applying to YC - it just kind of happened. I was sad when UE4 sunset HTML5 support, and glad to see a spiritual successor! The…

This. I think it used to be a productivity power tool that they since incorporated into the core editor.
