I really mean WebGL/WebGPU and using shaders instead of C and C++, while being GPU accelerated.

For a small taste,

"Meet Leon - superfast GPU-accelerated (WebGL) mpeg1-like video decoder in JavaScript"

See mpeg1video-decoder-webgl.js on developer tools.

Oh interesting! I found this as well: https://jsmpeg.com/

I didn’t realize enough of the work in decoding mpeg was paralellizable enough to do on the GPU, let alone in the constrained world of WebGL, but apparently it is.
