Compiling LLJS to C about lljs HOT 2 OPEN

LLJS is a superset of JS, so compiling it to C would be very difficult. You need a VM as well, GC, etc ..

That's not quite how I saw it but sure. At first glance it seemed to me that LLJS is effectively a C-like language that can be compiled to javascript, not a superset of javascript. I see no advantages of using dynamic types when writing LLJS. If dynamic typing isn't supported, then it shouldn't be hard to transform LLJS into C. You could support hashes with a simple hash data structure in C, but ideally you'd implement ES6 Map, Array etc in LLJS itself.

Imagine the examples on your homepage being converted to C and compiled to native, very do-able right?
