With traceGL you can see all JavaScript codeflow, in a high performance webGL visualiser. Its like an oscilloscope, for code. The author Rik Arends says “traceGL was born because i wanted a tool to get me insight quickly in complex JavaScript projects. Computer graphics has always been a hobby of mine, so doing the UI in webGL was a fun challenge. There are still very many things to do and improve about traceGL. It needs lots of datavisualisation, charts and animations.”
