Yeah, it's very unfortunate for WebGL/WebGPU apps, where every call has to pass/convert typed arrays and issue a js gl call. It pretty much kills any advantage

Yeah, it's very unfortunate for WebGL/WebGPU apps, where every call has to pass/convert typed arrays and issue a js gl call. It pretty much kills any advantage of using WASM. Hope that changes.

WebAssembly is the faster option for WebGL applications on the web, not least because you also might want to run things like physics engines: https://playgama.com/blog/general/boost-html5-game-performance-with-webassembly/#assessing-current-performance-bottlenecks-in-html5-games https://playgama.com/blog/general/boost-html5-game-performan...

  All depends on your app, of course. My point is having additional overhead for every gl call is pretty bad.

How can you reconcile this with all of the AAA games that have been shown to work well on Wasm+WebGL ? What is different between your usage and theirs?

  Which AAA games run well on Wasm+WebGL?

  A quick search shows that there aren't any AAA games that support those platforms. What are you referring to?
