So it's basically bytecode for the web without compiling to javascript right ?
Any language can now target that specific bytecode without the need for javascript transpilation.
For instance Flash can target this format in place of the Flash player, making swf files future proof since backed by standard web techs.
So it's basically the return of Flash,Java applets and co on the web. And web developers won't have to use Javascript anymore.
The only constraint is obviously the fact that the bytecode has only access to web apis and cant talk directly to the OS like with classic browser plugin architectures.
