Yea I came here to say this, actually I was able to transpile a few typescript files from my project into assembly using GPT just for fun and it actually worked pretty well. If someone simply implements a strict typescript-like linter that is a subset of javascript and typescript that transpiles into assemblyscript, I think that would work better for AOT because then you can have more critical portions of the application in AOT and other parts that are non-critical in JIT and you get best of both worlds or something like that. making js backwards compatible and AOT sounds way too complicated.
