I think there will be great usages of this technology. The one I can think of, is when users are uploading some images to your service. Imagine doing the image opimisation on client, before sending it to the server. Saving cellular data and speeding up upload speed.

I already tried it out, it looks promising. Altought I found quite difficult, to find any proper documentation, how to actually cross-compile some code. The community is small, but that will probably change as more and more devs will use it. Since the worldwide support is about 77,5 % and even Safari already implemented it. And it's also usable for mobile devices, not like browser plugins!
