The main feedback I have is that I wanted to read this near the end of my lunch break, because I've been interested for years in the idea that a reasonably-restricted subset of TypeScript (who needs all that dynamism) can almost definitely be compiled to machine code and be made super fast, faster than V8 -- so I was looking for a TLDR in this article and spent a couple minutes looking for it and then just reading whole paragraphs and still don't really know what you've got here.

dang imagine how much more leisurely you could've read the article if you didn't also take some of your lunch break to write this comment!

Good feedback; I should add a TL;DR. Basically this is a proposal to create a language that sits somewhere between Typescript and Rust, and which you can incrementally adopt if you already use Typescript.
