Nice to see WebGPU experiments in data visualization field. But the description is certainly misleading.

All the optimizations mentioned except LTTB downsampling in compute shaders can be done in WebGL.

Web charts with > 1 M points and 60 FPS zooming/panning have been available since 2019. For example, here's a line chart with 100M points (100x more): https://lightningchart.com/lightningchart-js-demos/100M/

But still, love to see it. WebGPU will surely go forward slowly as these things naturally do, but practical experimentation is essential.
