At one time, shaders turned the world of gaming graphics and became the technology behind all visual effects in computer games. Now they are ready to shake the web. Shaders are small programs in C-like GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), which allow you to describe the state of vertices (vertex shaders) or pixels (pixel shaders) in the context of OpenGL (or WebGL) using mathematical functions. GLSL is compiled and executed on a GPU with unprecedented HTML / CSS performance. As a rule, shaders are used to develop games and computer graphics, and using them in UI components is unfairly bypassed. This report covers the experience of using GLSL in developing web applications.http://bit.ly/2P4jIYM.In the spring of this year, we decided to conduct an experiment and partially shift the development of the Yandex.Money mobile application to frontenders. To do this, we decided to cross our native applications with screens written in React Native. We’ll tell you what we managed to find out during this experiment and what secrets are hidden in React Native: why sometimes the interfaces work quickly and sometimes they slow down how to put the bundle in the native application and what is the catch in the Android version.
