In light of WebGPU, I respectfully disagree. Because it has us building shader modules, buffers, and pipelines up-front with descriptors, the task of figuring out why something isn't working is often front-loaded. Pair that with its eloquent warnings (in comparison to, like, gl.getProgramParameter(shader, gl. COMPILE_STATUS) ) and the ability to label all your stuff to see it referred to by name in aforementioned warnings text... I'm rambling, but, there's just a lot of helpful stuff in WebGPU that I don't think OpenGL has, that stands to really help newcomers along
