Since Firefox (and i assume Firefox OS) uses the new "asm.js" subset

Interesting stuff, indeed.
Yes, very. Perhaps comparable with the JVM backend.
Obviously that wouldn't solve the GUI issue (one will still need to
implement a HTML-based (or whatever) LCL backend, but i think with
canvas nowadays that is possible).
This in fact is a completely different issue.
Perhaps comparable with the custom-drawn Android LCL.
