Is webassembly the future of web browser scripting?

It translates from C to asm.js

What if there was some kind of portable bytecode that managed memory for you? Maybe it would have statically typed opcodes for speed. It would be like a machine code, but not for physical hardware. Like a ``virtual'' thing. It could have a language that looks similar to JavaScript, but not for scripting. What could we call this thing? Java...something. Hmm...
