This library is written in C, and the SDK also provides a set of C++ bindings for it. Native Client modules use the Pepper API to communicate with the browser's JavaScript, the DOM, and other resources managed by the browser. The Pepper Library also provides a platform-independent multimedia API that Native Client modules can use for audio, video, and 2D graphics." So yes, this is somewhat geared toward multimedia, but it looks like it can also replace javascript in web apps.
