Added a bit of animation support to my WebGPU library using @donmccurdy 's glTF-Transform and @tojiro 's gl-matrix.

I personally don't like that #threejs uses #tsl to build shaders.
First, it seems to me that TSL takes a bit to "compile" the shaders on page load, and that's a bit annoying.
Second is the TSL language itself; if devs are going to learn a new "language" then just learn #wgsl.

I understand this is to provide compatibility with #glsl, but not a super fan.

I also must say this is not the first time I talk trash against a 3d library, the first time it was #AFrame and later I changed my mind.

Today I Learned that in WGSL you cannot assign to a swizzle - that means `foo.xyz = vec3f(0)` is illegal?!

I was ready to defend you, #WGSL, but this is pretty lame.

Also, it always worked on my machine (Chromium on Linux) and it took a code release to find this out.

Part of my recent progress on my library POINTS (https://github.com/Absulit/points)

These are two render passes. Background pass has an image. Foreground pass has a mesh and an image inside; mesh is scaled dynamically at runtime. The image preserves its ratio no matter the scale of the quad.

Anyone managed to get wgsl-analyzer to work on #NixOS ? Mine exits with a mere
`[ERROR] wgsl-analyzer err: <- StreamClosed`
I ran `wgsl-analyzer --version` and got... 0.0.0 !?
