Well, I would say, what we need and have is a rich ecosystem of JavaScript applications, which can and does guide both libraries and browser development. I'd say we need, the start-stop and often out-of-step (i.e. careful and experimental) shuffle toward standards. WebGL is just the latest waltz, but that visualisation is built on a bunch of foundational standards: TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, OpenGL, WebGL, etc etc The computers that got us to the moon where highly efficient integrated circuits. But (I presume) they can't get us to mars. Personally I'd advocate for messy, but rich platforms, which max out our CPUs in some applications; but give expression to the emergent desires of those who want to tinker. We don't have time to miss-out on potential wins by working with rigid systems.
