Friendly greetings ! would you suggest “Use new JS IR compiler” for a new hobby project, with no planned external dependencies, that will create a fullscreen canvas for a browser openGLES application ? (like a game, except that it won’t be a game)

I would, but it makes little difference for your particular use-case. That said, you might want to stick with legacy if only for quicker build times.
Note that quicker != quick anyways
You should be able to switch between the backends at will given that you only need canvas

thank you 🥰

quicker?? I think the IR compiler is now faster than the Legacy one

Is it? Maybe for a "standing start", but not for recompilation
But it's been a while since I've last compared them TBH. Best try and see for yourself.

I have been using IR for the past few months. I can say it got a better, better than Legacy
