  1. I wonder what justifies turning normal code into a string to eval(): https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/9310/files#diff-2ac7... becomes https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/9310/files#diff-ff6e... On the surface it seems bad.

  6. …the Zynga post described? From the source code, it seems to just draw the triangles individually: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/1769fbfc6c994b51a54c... I also don't see any heuristic processing of shaders as described for ZyGL.

  39. three.js ( https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/ ) An easy to use wrapper for doing 3D graphics via JS using canvas, WebGL, and SVG renderers. Check out the cool demos. I'm betting 2011 will see a lot done with this and similar libraries.
