Isn't this kind of what V8 and other modern JavaScript engines do on the fly already?

Yes: one of the Google engineers working on V8 talked about it here: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/10/03/javascript-a...

It was this conversation that make me wonder if at some point in the future V8 might have experimental support natively for TypeScript but it makes more sense that compiling web assembly to native binary would make more sense. Who knows? It's an awesome time to be a programmer!
