I'm working on something like this right now, targeting WASM GC. I started with functions, basic numeric types, arrays, and structs. Then added blocks, control flow, and strings. Then interfaces, mixins, classes, and extension classes. It's now something like a statically typed mashup of TypeScript, Swift, and Dart, all done in the best way I could figure out specifically for WASM GC.

It's been a really fun side project.

I do think there is a market for something like this - optimizing an existing language for WASM, or ephemeral networked code delivery in general, can be really hard. And a statically typed, WASM-oriented, very familiar high-level language, that can give very good static errors, and quickly run in a secure sandbox might be a good target for LLM-generated code.
