This library makes it easier to quickly prototype WebGL applications. It's lower level than many other WebGL libraries and while it doesn't provide a scene graph, it re-implements OpenGL's modelview/projection matrix stack to provide similar functionality. It also re-introduces some built-in uniforms from GLSL (such as gl_Vertex and gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix) and OpenGL's immediate mode.
