> when pushing to git it would get transpiled to the most common subset. That would mean pulling from git would get you code that’s harder to read than what you pushed (if that’s not the case, you wouldn’t have used that transpiler) There also isn’t agreement on the common subset. For example, scala has lazy sequences, Rust wants programmers to have control over memory deallocation, go (sort-of) requires threads to have small stacks, Swift has copy-on-write collections, python’s numbers automatically become bignums, many languages really need efficient boxing to have efficient implementations, etc. Strip all that, and you end up with WASM (or, possibly, even something even smaller), and various language ecosystems would build libraries on top of that that are incompatible with each other (possibly sometimes in non-obvious ways, leading to hard to detect bugs)
