True-color real time javascript roguelike soon possible ?

The javascript speed war that's currently taking place amongst browsers may soon bring a javascript engine fast enough to have a pyromancer-like roguelike running in a browser.

That would be really cool. No more compilation/deployment/platform issue. I've been keeping an eye on browsers javascript speed for a few years, hoping that it would become fast enough one day for this :
