The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the programming connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Data Visualization Cookbook (2nd Edition), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

Not perfect, but very useful. The 2026 angle kept it grounded in current problems.
