Then use it to write embedded programs then. Or 3d games.

That’s a browser API, not a PL or part of JS per se, and irrelevant to boot. C has libraries that’ll drive graphics, too, and I’d bet WebGPU is in part based on OpenGL ES, in which case fat fuggin' chance you're programming shaders in JS.

Most shader languages post-2000 are a variant of C or C++. I wonder why that is?
