>I’m Glenn Fiedler and I’ve been a game developer for the last 15 years. If he is in the scene for so long, he should know about the timing problems in browsers: The JavaScript VM can schedule your game any time it likes and it's pretty much impossible to get consistent framerates across all browsers. As someone who has developed a variety of JavaScript games - I will not do it again until we get more powerful and accurate timers. There are still many obstacles for good JavaScript games.

To be fair to browsers, it's impossible to get consistent frame rates on anything. That's why games rely on the delta between frames instead of constant values.

  Obviously, I know about deltas. That doesn't fix visual stuttering because frames miss.
