Quote This is Mozilla's draft proposal for the GPU API for the Web, called Obsidian. It is a low-level API that provides maximum feature set of the GPU to the web applications. The API is designed for WebAssembly, modern GPUs, and multi-threaded environment in mind.

Quote Among the next-gen desktop APIs we see Vulkan as the most capable, portable, and open. Thus, our work can be seen as a reduction of Vulkan that would make sense for the Web. We believe that the basing on Vulkan would let us focus on the missing parts instead of bike-shedding the function names.

So it looks like after Vulkan for desktop and mobile, the web may be getting a low-level API for interactions with the GPU. They are calling it Obsidian right now (temporary name) and they state it's not a specification just yet, as they are looking to gather feedback.It reads like it will actually be based on Vulkan:It will be interesting to see what people can make on the web with a more powerful API that's for sure.Find the proposal on github . What are your thoughts?Thanks for the link Raven!
