I think this is the wrong way to go. The bootstrap size for JavaScript is huge with nodejs depending on the world. Nix is relatively small which is nice. It's far from optimal though.
Haskell is also huge, but there are a few languages with tiny footprints. I suggest we look at ash or maybe zsh. I think keeping the core as small as possible is worth the extra verbosity of using a strict language. My 2 cents.
