By supporting natively I mean provide a layer of APIs that let developers interact with the phone and in particular with the display at a low level, while still writing JS; I imagine that if you could draw on the screen bypassing canvases and html views entirely it would solve most issues.


You mean like NativeScript?

How would that differ from WebGL?


I assume the grandparent means access to UI APIs, not just drawing. I think there would still be significant performance drawbacks to "native JS".
