The way I remember it, NaCl and PNaCl ended up nowhere not because big, but because Mozilla, then with big influence on standards, declared them not web enough for the crime of not being JavaScript and pushed against any addition of it into Gecko in any form and promoted "JavaScript is all you need" including an early demo of decoding video in JS - which I recall disgusted me because I somehow knew it would take away various technical issues preventing proprietary encoding from closing down web videos. Funnily enough, NaCl had its origins in Mozilla extension, with old versions IIRC mentioning lineage starting in Google Gears extension for Firefox |
