I haven't heard of any examples of lightweighting subset into scripting language for dev.

I have heard of prior art that starting from scripting language into native application for release.

For Python, Nuitka translate into C++
For Typescript subset, Microsoft research project Static Typescript compile into machine code
For Typescript, PerryTS/perry seems to compile to native code
