Description
Increasing access
The access statement covers technical maintenance and improvements in the following way:
We believe consistency of the tool makes it more accessible for beginners. Examples of feature requests that improve accessibility include: Performance increases for people using less powerful hardware; Consistency in the API
Making p5.Matrix available for both general and WEBGL use can support beginners who are using p5.js to encounter and learn mathematical concepts, which are important to many creative coding practices.

Feature enhancement details
