A compiler. From TypeScript to web assembly.

Certainly it has its work cut out for it to have TS semantics (that is, JS semantics) and be optimal for target web assembly.

I can't think of any scripting languages that are optimal for targeting low-level runtimes.

I wish AssemblyScript the best; seems like a hard problem.
