TypeScript is becoming such a compelling language due to its insanely advanced type system (that allows for projects like this) that I now want to use it everywhere. I want it to become the next Python.

I know Deno is supposed to be first class TypeScript but under the hood it's still a JavaScript runtime with all the baggage that comes with that.

AssemblyScript is extremely interesting but last time I played with it I concluded it wasn't yet ready for anything serious, or is that no longer the case?

A first class TypeScript runtime with no JS overhead would be a dream come true. I just hope it happens someday, or that other type systems get these amazing features.
