Yeah the NaCl model is a dead-end for web apps. It's a massive struggle to get all the vendors to align on things and trying to get them to align on a huge from-scratch redesign and reimplementation effort is way way harder. We'll see if it works out for WASI, which is basically an attempt at that but in the server application space.

Whether it's NACL/VMWare/WASM/whatever the technology for emulation has been around for decades. I guess I'm not sure why WASM is so special it needs a decade to come to fruition.
