Javascript is single threaded by nature. Parallel execution is 
done in isolation. No shared memory.

Javascript only support double. Double has 53 bits precision. So 
without emulation javascript support:

53 bit division /
52 bit addition +, -
32 bit masking &, |
26 bit fast multiply *

You can allocate a fixed size byte array and put aligned typed 
views on it in modern browsers. This is used in asm.js

You have no notion of a stack in javascript. You are therefore 
stuck with what javascript provides.

You cannot implement your own coroutines without an emulation 
layer which will be heavy.

The restrictions come from what javascript can do efficiently 
(execution time, code size and memory use).
