There's a huge amount of existing OpenGL code, but not that much existing OpenCL code, so we decided to make the WebCL API a bit more object-oriented and JavaScript-like.

But there will be quite a few developers familiar with the WebGL API by the time WebCL hits the street. Having a sister API that had a fundamentally different style would be confusing and would increase the learning curve. I strongly recommend following WebGL style as closely as possible.
