Answer 8

As other users said, you can convert your JS to anything else that works on PC, smartphone and tablets, often w/h huge performance limitations but since Javascript is built to run on browsers, i recommend to check this video out from minute 22:58 to 27:05, something great is happening in the JS world and maybe in a few years we will be able to play high quality games enjoying the same experience of console/desktop games... i'm too optimistic though.
