Yes, it's 'spectacular' to you and I. I meant in the broader sense of spectacle, the sense in which people on the street want to try it out because it's like nothing they've ever seen before. And that is possible with NaCl if expectations are properly managed.


People on the street are not interested in browser implementations and are therefore not the group which needs to be impressed in this case.


We already know what the killer demo is going to be, Doom in the browser.


Doom 3 maybe. We already have Quake 2 running in the browser using WebGL (http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/), anything less would undersell NaCl.


I was afraid of that, but yes, you're right. Doom is old enough to run with JS already.
