Yes, it was written for other students so it's not as clean as most of the referred research papers. Part of the work was implementing a compiler whilst part of was surveying how well real world JS developers would understand language subset limitations. Most relevant for my above comment re AOT vs JIT is that JS semantics (I think I touched upon it in the thesis) will have the same issues that made JIT's win out with BigInts in the Agesen&Hölzle paper (whilst the paper is on AOT's my goal was to find a solution for game developers so numerical performance was a non-moving goal for me).
