Nit, The article mentions things like GL_LINES, GL_LINE_STRIP. Those are OpenGL not WebGL. It might seem unimportant to someone that knows both APIs but to someone that only knows or is learning WebGL it can be extremely confusing
- mtsr 5y agoThose are only used to compare with. The main contribution from the article doesn’t use those.

- asiachick 5y agoOnly if they already know OpenGL. If they're web programmers with no OpenGL experience then no, they will not refer to OpenGL ES names
