Shameless plug: sokol_gfx.h has an API quite similar to WebGPU and has a WebGL2 backend (most notably WebGPU-style immutable pipeline objects which on WebGL2 use a state cache to avoid redundant calls into WebGL2), I'd say that the API is even easier to use than WebGPU, but of course I'm biased ;) https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/ https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/ ...or with the WebGPU backend (which gives you a couple more options, like storage buffers/images and compute shaders): https://floooh.github.io/sokol-webgpu/ https://floooh.github.io/sokol-webgpu/ ...this is only an option if you're comfortable with C or Zig though (for native build targets you'd have more language options), although I keep rolling the idea around the back of my head to eventually add JS/TS to the language bindings generator. PS: You're spot on with the performance comparison. It's baffling that WebGPU in some areas isn't any faster or even slower than WebGL2 (but tbf, D3D11 - which WebGL2 uses on Windows - is hard to beat when it comes to raw throughput - I wonder if a WebGPU D3D11 backend would beat the current D3D12 backend).
