How soon do you think we will see the end of web browsers and websites as we know them today?

we should see the start of it soon. I mean, browsers are basically http clients with
>rendering engine for html/css/whatever
>runtime for JS code and plugins
all this is replaceable and done better elsewhere. the only thing that's specific to browsers is w3c compliance.
so we ditch all w3c standards and get somebody else to draft a new "world wide web". essentially establishing common grounds for development rather than creating new language specs from scratch.
for rendering websites you're expecting everybody to use vulkan, and not outdated inflexible shit like HTML and CSS.
you have a runtime that JIT or AOT compiles one intermediary language (like what they're trying to do with asm.js) and everybody targets it. eventually, every popular language should have a compiler that can output spit this IL out. then you're not forced to use JS (or transpile to JS) to write web frontends.
after this there's no reason to have a "browser" because there's no reason to have a drop-in w3c package.
we need 3d websites for vr like worlds.com
