I know very little about JavaScript / TypeScript and so am not in a good position to evaluate it, but this sounds interesting. Is this "pre-implementation" effort of yours available somewhere so that we can have a look? A GSoC project is supposed to be a work of one individual, which this year should take about 175 hours. Some specific steps towards an implementation could probably fit the bill even if the whole FE would obviously be way too big. Different members of your group would need to work on different things (as a part of their GSoC). We would probably also like to see at least some hazy path to eventually finish and upstream the effort, so knowing the plans beyond this years GSoC would also be helpful. Last but not least, we cannot really predict how many slots we'll get from Google and how many students apply, so we cannot promise to accept all projects we like. However, I am intrigued.
