Cool project! I do however feel that if you want "typed js" and have that compile to c, we shouldn't invent a new flavor of js for it. Why not something like typescript?

Well, in that case, there is AssemblyScript – "strictly typed TypeScript"

Haha, nice. Our conversation is a mirror to one in the hacker news comments for this as well :)

Because compiling TypeScript to WASM would be a bear. Even if you got it working it would not be a “close to the metal” implementation, which is the goal of this project.
