You can't have the type of performance we have without a sound type system. While it is possible to compile JavaScript to native code, because the sound type system is not sound, you can't get high-performance code because you're always having to be paranoid about the wrong data flowing into the wrong channels. Therefore, there isn't really a practical way you can imagine making a high-performance native cross-platform toolkit in TypeScript or JavaScript.
