Keep hot render state in a generic shared SOA arena and use worker messages only for allocation, graph compilation, loadout changes, and render pacing. Compile external S-expression graphs into upfront WebGPU resources, transient aliases, and reusable render bundles.

# Yawn
|
|
|
|
Yawn Core is two things: a generic structure-of-arrays arena in a `SharedArrayBuffer`, and a Rust render graph that turns externally supplied WGSL into an up-front WebGPU loadout.

JSO or FXNode → AST → S-expression → worker messages → Rust/WebGPU

any thread → direct shared row writes ─────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The arena starts with only one eight-float `info` row for frame timing and direct SAB render skipping. Messages create or delete other `{ name, rows, stride, format }` arrays, allocate named slots, compile graphs, switch loadouts, and control render pacing. Existing render data is changed by writing `f32`, `u32`, or `i32` rows directly. Allocations are 64-byte aligned, row strides are multiples of 16 bytes, and compatible non-overlapping transient textures share physical allocations.

|
|
|
WGSL, pipelines, glTF import, and conventional mesh/camera/material handles live in `addons/`; core contains no shader or scene model.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
