from what i've read, they're pretty different abstractions, so i'm concerned that learning WebGL2 will give me a mental model that will be largely useless and just add to the confusion when switching to WebGPU. even the shader language is different (WGSL vs GLSL) [1]. how much knowledge will be transferable?
