Just thought I'd point out that the previous discussions on NaCl seem to
have missed this part of the overview:
"The Pepper Plug-in API (PPAPI), called *Pepper* for convenience, is
included in the Native Client SDK. This library is written in C, and the SDK
also provides a set of C++ bindings for it. Native Client modules use the
Pepper API to communicate with the browser's JavaScript, the DOM, and other
resources managed by the browser. The Pepper Library also provides a
platform-independent multimedia API that Native Client modules can use for
audio, video, and 2D graphics."

So yes, this is somewhat geared toward multimedia, but it looks like it can
also replace javascript in web apps.
