So we're building binaries, to run them in WASM, that's running in JavaScript, which is running in browser, that is written in C++ .. is that what we're doing now?

Obligatory reference to The Birth and Death of Javascript: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...
This is misleading.

1. You write Canvas in Javascript, the article did not mention anything about Canvas in WebAssembly.

2. Although WebAssembly used to run in Javascript with asm.js, WebAssembly code can be executed by V8 engine (C++ based) already.
