Manim animation engine now runs in browser via WebGPU

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

The tool offers a Monaco editor with live preview and an AI agent for code generation. It compiles Rust to WebAssembly to run in Pyodide, enabling Python-based math animations without local setup.
