WebGL strikes me as a much more likely and more open HTML5/Native hybridized future. I don't doubt there will be other hybrid technologies but I think WebGL is the first one that's here to stay.
To clarify: I mean open as in open web here; that is to say that the WebGL GLSL code that gets compiled to run on the GPU is human readable when embedded in a website. AFAIK this is not the the case with NaCL or PNaCL.
Moving back to adoption, NaCL has only currently been adoption by Chrome and Mozilla does not seem particularly interested in changing that.
