Yes. Seems like everybody's talking about that one today :)

It's good, that there's now another competitor to OpenPGP.js

http://openpgpjs.org/
https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/

The End-to-End stuff is Apache 2.0 licensed, so it might be interesting
how it compares performance wise and whether it'd be worth extracting
into a stand-alone library.

Yes, it seems like Werner Koch has mentioned the usage of Ed/Curve25519
for the first time in October last year on the OpenPGP mailing list.

Also, I have seen Curve/Ed25519 making land fall in OpenSSH. Good signs!
