« I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin 
is too narrow to contain. »
Pierre de Fermat, 1637 A.D.

Took 356 years to be proven actually.

Anyway compiling JS to C++ was not your first goal if I undestand well. 
Maybe getting rid of GC is possible without compiling JS. And it may be 
interesting for compiled languages that do use a GC to, like C# or Java.

Regards.
