"network-driven hypervisor" is what we have already with modern browsers. WebSockets, WebWorkers, WebRTC ... all that. Personally I see WASM as a potential way to speed up technology evolution and acceptance. Like from CSS 1.0 era authors were struggling with flexible layouts on HTML pages. In 2008 work on flexbox module had started in CSS workgroup at W3C. And at 2015 we've finally got something. 7 years and very far from ideal at the end to be honest. If CSS would have an open architecture and with something like WASM in place + an ability to hook up that almost native code in rendering tree creation and composition process ... We would have significantly better results and significantly faster. That's just an example. May be that's too optimistic of course. In any case if web browser, that we all rely upon, would be an open platform/technology it will be better for all of us. Can WASM be the way to that? I wish to hope.
