This looks very interesting. Any chance it would compile to asm.js? That would be awesome.

The trouble is that, at the moment, asm.js is not a garbage collected environment, whereas TypeScript is much closer to JS than it is to C.

Static typing alone is not sufficient to make asm.js a good target for a language, I think.
