It'll open the door for more ambitious webgames and web apps that use the GPU.

I keep waiting to see ambitious webgames that could match the experience of Infinity Blade from 2010, used to demo iOS new OpenGL ES 3.0 capabilities, the foundation of WebGL 2.0.

The only thing I like in Web 3D APIs, is that outside middleware engines, they are the only mainstream 3D APIs designed with managed languages in mind, instead of after the fact bindings.

Still waiting for something like RenderDoc on the respective browser developer tools, we never got anything better than SpectorJS.

It isn't even printf debugging, rather pixel colour debugging.
