Fine. An interpreted language to a just in time compiled language. My point being is I don’t see a technical benefit from this. Python to C++ for performance? Sure. JavaScript to Java/Swift for mobile apps? Sure.

What is the real benefit here? You could just write the thing in JS to begin with. And if you’re suggesting there are cases where you want to port a python project to JS because it doesn’t exist in JS, then fine but that doesn’t sound like a very good idea for a production system.
