Actually, that's not true at all. That's the plan for asm.js, but this demo doesn't run in anything other than very new Firefox builds, AFAICT. It crashes chrome, IE doesn't support WebGL (yet).

It works for example in Firefox 20, the current stable release, which has no special asm.js optimizations.
