The Ecma General Assembly has officially approved ECMAScript 6, the latest standard edition of JavaScript.
I have seen the future, and its name is ES6.

So how many years do we have to wait until we can use it as "standard" in web apps?

2025?
WIn10 LTS will keep IE11, and until they state otherwise I'm assuming the life cycle policy for business versions will remain at a decade. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It’s no secret that Google often builds its own custom hardware for its data centers, but what’s probably less known is that Google uses custom networking protocols that have been tweaked for use in its data centers instead of relying on standard Internet protocols to power its networks. There you go: now you can build your own copy

Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and the engineers on the WebKit project today announced that they have teamed up to launch WebAssembly, a new binary format for compiling applications for the web. Because it worked so well the other times people tried

Actually, this does enable just that. Wasm allows binaries to be delivered to the browser, roughly corresponding to the features in asm.js. As that is lower-level than JS, it is a declared intent that other languages can generate wasm modules.
Finally (at least in a year or so), it may be possible to write web code in another language without pre-compiling to JS. A vote for sanity.
Its very encouraging all major vendors are supporting it (with the notable exception (again) of crApple), otherwise it would be dead in the water.

Okay, but from my understanding of the article, a JavaScript engine is still required for execution. The only difference is that the input is now a serialized AST (that can originate from another language than JavaScript, of course) instead of a text file that needs to be parsed. It helps performance, but it is not as native as it could be. It's just like Java or .NET, it still needs a execution engine to bring it to the metal.

The ruling is likely to be influential on EU courts' thinking in future. Good thing there aren't any Europeans here that might cause trouble

Presuming the EU Court mental mediocrity isn't internationally contagious, just another reason I'm glad there's an ocean between us.

It's too late; the rot is already present North of the border, and on most (all?) U.S. college campuses.

I concur, we manage to avoid nutters running around shooting people quite effectively over here.
