        there’s something to be said for the success of the browser as application distribution platform that people even want to do this

        of course it was never intended to be one hence the broken-ness / bloat. don’t know how you get to the right set of abstractions without going through the hell we’re in with the web though

        I think we're close to the end-game here, there are reasons to be optimist.

        Curious, why the sentiment in relation to WebGPU? The way the standard came out, or the very concept?

        The concept, it's adding YET ANOTHER thing for browsers to do. It's easier to smear this on a browser than it is to address the underlying problems, but in doing so it just makes them worse. Nobody wants to revisit and fix fundamental issues.

        It’s fine, it will all run on a remote machine and livestream the rendered video to your computer anyway.pic.twitter.com/Uggb7JCSKA

        Yes, livestream the loading icon at 60 fps. Meanwhile the remote parses, "compiles", spits out SPIRV, cross-compiles to actual target shader language, sends to GPU ... to get the shader ready you wrote in GLSL and cross-compiled to WebGPU because you try to get things done.

    Loading seems to be taking a while.
