Why would you like to work on bytecode instead of AST? The AST contains much more information, you can implement better optimizations in AST. AST is also more convinient than bytecode.
We already optimize bytecode. But it seems much more could be done there. It also seems like a simpler goal. Also, AST will need to be changed to bytecode at some point, and that bytecode could still be optimized in ways not available to the AST, I imagine. Also, I understand bytecode, more or less :)
