I actually disagree, there's quite a lot that can be improved in JS during compile time. There's been a lot of work creating static type analysis tools for JS, that can do very very thorough analysis, an example that comes to mind is [TAJS](https://www.brics.dk/TAJS/) although its somewhat old.

Contributor for Porffor here! I think this is a great comparison, but Porffor does technically support promises, albeit synchronously. It's a similar approach to Kiesel, https://kiesel.dev/.
