While it seems early, I can't count many web standards that Microsoft, Google, Mozilla agreed on running the same way.
Javascript was hindered for many years because of this, and wasm, while young appears to be getting through this much faster.
I disagree with the notion that wasm, or any other tech will be a failure because it can't succeed at being all, or nothing.
There's a lot of problems that aren't being solved in the browser that will now start to become possible.
Unity games can be compiled directly to wasm, and it's still early: http://webassembly.org/demo/Tanks/
The abilty to create rich experiences that are code once, deploy everywhere sans browser interpretations is a big deal.
