Are you trying to propose a JavaScript / TypeScript front-end and associated runtime for GCC?
I don't believe that anyone would object to that. It probably is much too ambitious for a GSoC project. You could propose a subset as a GSoC project. It's unclear if you already have a preliminary implementation and want to incrementally continue it, like a Hackathon, as part of GSoC.
