If it compiles to any kind of javascript it is a mistake to think
they'll be a performance boost over just writing javascript, with or
without annotations. Odds are there will be leaky abstractions in the
compile process that can hurt speed.
It is actually quite fast.

Having said this, compiling code to JavaScript just feels wrong.
Unless the idea is to port legacy code, I don't see any advantage.
Code translation eventually means you might end up trying to understand
why something does not work in the target language, while doing a
compiler mental model of the translations taking place.
