Running another program in a rectangle in your web browser can hardly be called “web”.



You accessed it on the Web, in your Web browser. For pretty much everyone, that's the definition of "Web" .


Does WebAssembly running in a <canvas> tag count as "web"?


Maybe. However, wasm will eventually tightly integrate with the DOM.


Yeah it seems like people don't understand this. We've had an era of JavaScript dominating web standards. I also don't think people realize this is only the start of wasm...
