  2. …the latter doesn't support running on WASM, pyscript or pyodide yet, but there's an issue about it: https://github.com/pygfx/wgpu-py/issues/407 PRs welcome though :-)

  7. FYI you can already use webgpu directly in python, see https://github.com/pygfx/wgpu-py for webgpu wrappers and https://github.com/pygfx/pygfx for a more high level graphics library
