This is more "rendering functions" than functional rendering. I was hoping to see something more complex like a game rendering engine, which is extremely hard to do since there's a lot of state management.

I don't know if this really qualify for functional rendering, but the stream-ness of the concept feels functional : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycSpSSt-yVs

All these browser crashing web apps further back my intuition that the web is not ready for 3D.

For me, WebGL is only for quick prototyping OpenGL ideas, before writing them in native code.
