You can. Rollercoaster tycoon was originally written in pure ASM.
Allowing programming to be more widespread is a noble cause, but there comes a point (and I think it is approaching rapidly) where you layer so much abstration between the machine and the programmer, that they're guaranteed to write poor, or at least slow code. We need to find a middle ground, and I think javascript pulls in the wrong direction to this.
