You joke, but I can imagine a scenario where someone ports a complex GUI app to the web using something like Blazor and accidentally ends up with a full web browser running in WASM, on top of an actual browser.
I can also foresee an entire industry popping up to do this on purpose in the name of “compatibility”. I’m sure the marketing will talk about the efficiency of being able to run “true” IE6 on top of Chrome in 2030.
It’s also just a matter of time until we see Docker images for running Windows 95 apps in the browser via WINE on top of a user-mode Linux kernel emulator.
Check back here in 7 years to see which of the above prophecies materialised.
