WebGL support with new backend ? - mmortall - 27-05-2021
Since we have a new Jobs-based Obi backend is there a chance to get webgl support someday? I tried the latest Obi CLoth version with webgl but I have some errors when I am adding cloth to simulation. At least it compiles now.

I have never managed to get any multithreaded Burst-based code running in WebGL yet. Apparently, it's supported or intended to be supported in the near future, but there's no clear information as to when:

Seems that the best you can currently get is Burst+Jobs in single-threaded mode, which unfortunately isn't enough for Obi to offer decent performance. Seems all we have to do for multithreaded & vectorized code to run in WebGL is wait for development to progress, though.

Thanks. I will wail then.
