> But I always thought getting browsers to adopt Dart was a crazy and impossible idea.

I don't know — browsers are already planning to adopt a non-JavaScript language (WebAssembly); it's entirely possible that maybe, just maybe they might start to support more than just the late-90s mistake which is JavaScript.

As someone that enjoys more developing native apps than web ones, I imagine Web Assembly will eventually be the revenge of plugins.

How long it will take for Canvas/WebGL + WebAssembly frameworks to appear?

Eventually someones going to create a XML based layout language to use to construct views in the Canvas, we could even call it HTML ;)

I'm not a web developer either and I look forward to WASM and its potential. But I really like HTML, I've used lots of layout languages before and I think HTML is the best I've used. The only thing I find HTML to be obtuse about is complex animations.
