A Javascript engine is pretty far from a browser. It's too much work to write a browser even if you reuse the existing V8.

I agree. The context of this comment is the user asking if Web assembly will make that effort easier. I don't think it will since getting good JS is already reasonable.

Yeah, it won't be the wasm itself that makes anything possible.

What might happen is that it ushers in technically-unrelated fashions, such as standard WASI interfaces to something slightly less insane than DOM+Javascript.

Just Canvas-over-WASI isn't the answer because of accessibility, but something like it might happen.
