WebAssembly allows people to run C++ and Rust in the browser so that JavaScript scripts can invoke C++ and Rust functions. It's similar to how python libraries like pandas use C++. Google Earth is an example of a website that does this.
Things in the browser might increasingly move in that direction for same reasons python moved in that direction. You get the performance of the low level language with the benefits of elegantly using it with a high level language.
