PNaCL was essentially "let's shove LLVM into every browser and make it a mandatory part of the web", which somehow seems even worse than "let's shove the JVM into every browser and make it a mandatory part of web"

Given Google's power a decade later, with Safari left as the only non-Chrome clone with market relevance, it hardly makes a difference.

Additionally we already have LLVM all over the place, alongside JVM and CLR, it is the most deployed compiler infrastructure with contributions at the same level as the Linux kernel.
