Nailed it, it requires a (big) shift in mentality.

Some are still trying to understand how to use web workers effectively or edge computing.

By adding WebAssembly (which is getting multi threading) to the mix we'll be able to efficiently run web apps using the CPU of the client instead of running jobs on the server and then delivering the result to the client.
