It potentially allows any language (C, C++, Rust, .NET, heck in the future maybe Java, Scala or anything you want) to be run inside a webbrowser, at near native speed. Because any language would be compiled to this intermediate form (wasm) it would drastically simplify the distribution of complex applications. Because any language can be compiled to that form, you can potentially reuse your existing company's code to run it inside a webbrowser Because it's already integrated in web browsers, it means the technology deployment promise to be quick. Because it's just an intermediary form, you can use a typesafe language (Javascript isn't) and still use it at native speed rather than going through a step of conversion to javascript. It's still missing a few key things (garbage collection, interaction with the DOM) but I see that as being the new standard for pretty much anything. I can see that being used everywhere, from server side to client side, to mobile devices, why not hardware support (Is that possible?)
