I wonder if anyone has made a compiler that goes from TypeScript sources to binaries directly, taking advantage of types to create something much faster than Node could?

Also, would it be possible to keep types in JS bytecode so that an JIT can take advantage of that (similar to JVM bytecode)?

For the first question, check this: https://youtu.be/pVhcyKf3efM?t=447 at 7:27. I don't know any details about Porforr but you may want to look into that.
