Currently all APIs are blocking and will freeze the main thread if the kernel is computationally large.

Challenges:

  • No asynchronous API for WebGL exists (Blocker)

The blog post for webgl-worker said async calls cannot be implemented by their method.

WebGL does not work in WebWorkers (yet). Waiting on this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/transferControlToOffscreen

Lol. so we gotta wait 3 years before it becomes standard in browser? if it makes it there.

Anyway i will update the API to support "ASYNC". - For the future !
