WebGL, not Javascript, is fast enough for Quake 3, a game from 1999. Very impressive :colbert:
yes and no

if javascript stymie is right about it being 60fps twitch gameplay then that's still pretty cool. every shooter game since quake 3 has been a step backwards - lovely cover shooters using all that extra processing power just to cover everything with bloom and myopia effects that we're better off without.

but you're right, using that extra processing power to instead add a bunch of layers of abstraction for no reason is pretty stupid and wasteful. why did i bother replacing my pentium at all
