You can’t tell from the outside if you are running a well engineered JS app that would have been fast in another platform, or a non-optimized JS app. My point was that it’s not fundamentally impossible to write fast enough JS code for a game, even though you may come across many slow JS apps regularly. (Not surprising, given the wide distribution and low barrier to entry of the web.)

Yes, you can operate strictly on typed arrays and essentially implement something alike a virtual machine inside your JS code to make it handle memory efficiently, so you're right - it's not "fundamentally impossible", but are you still really writing JavaScript at that point? :P
