I think it's not too unreasonable to say that this includes a successful prediction of webassembly.

Wasn't the contemporaneous asm.js already in commercial use in 2014?

I tend to disagree. Asm.js is dying. Webassembly is not "everything on top of JavaScript". While higher layers can work the same as they could with asm.js (still in the web browser), it's not what GB predicted.

asm.js already existed when this was written with AOT compilation support in Firefox
