GoKawiilscriptc
Zero-runtime TypeScript. scriptc compiles ordinary TypeScript into small, fast native executables — no Node, no V8, no JavaScript engine in the binary.
$ cat fib.ts function fib(n: number): number { return n < 2 ? n : fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2); } console.log(fib(30)); $ scriptc run fib.ts 832040 $ scriptc build fib.ts && ls -la fib -rwxr-xr-x 178K fib # a self-contained native binary, ~2ms startup
No changes to your code. No annotations, no dialect — the same TypeScript you run on Node, type-checked by the real TypeScript compiler and compiled to native. What compiles behaves byte-for-byte like Node.
Install
$ npm install -g scriptc
Requires clang (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools). macOS arm64 is the primary platform; Linux and Windows binaries build by cross-compilation, each verified by its own differential test lane.
The idea: staticness you can see
Most TypeScript is far more static than the ecosystem assumes. scriptc decides, construct by construct, what can compile to native code — and tells you:
$ scriptc coverage app.ts statements analyzed 4481 compile statically 4451 (99%) blockers: ×2 functions with optional parameters as values SC1090 ×1 Promise.reject SC2020
