> No dynamic allocations are supported (thus no reference type support)

No class instances. This is a severe limitation, to the point where it will change the character of the language entirely.

In theory, allocation could be hacked in with an arena allocator. I just need to add in reference type support and custom allocation strategies into the transpiler.

Then again, that's only viable if you don't use enough memory to require rom bank switching, or have better control over which class gets placed in which rom bank.
