You mean like for example MS Blazor WASM, or Qt for WebAssembly (QML in the browser)?
Even I think something like that is long overdue (as the misuse of HTML and DOM as the most horrible GUI framework for application development ever invented should stop immediately) I somehow don't like the outlook of MS Blazor becoming a thing. I hope everybody knows what that would mean: "Windows" (APIs) in the browser…
QML on the other hands side looks good (at least from the outside). But it's nowhere close to significant usage, so no hope for that, frankly.
