I agree. Magenta, Tensorflow, Keras all have WebGL accelerated client side javascript libraries so interactive demos could become the norm.

The Scientific Paper is Obsolete

I'd be willing to get that Magenta, Tensforflow, Keras, and even WebGL will be obsolete long before the scientific paper in it's traditional form become obsolete. Animations and interactivity are cool and all, but the timelessness of plain text has already lasted thousands of years. And even though anyone who could speak those languages also died thousands of years ago, we're still able to interpret the meaning of a lot of them.
