Compile TypeScript to Native Code and Transform Your App Performance

Compile TypeScript to Native Code and Transform Your App Performance

Vercel Labs has introduced scriptc, an experimental compiler that converts TypeScript into small native executables without relying on Node, V8, or a JavaScript engine. It uses the TypeScript compiler for type checking and can output C or WebAssembly code. Initial benchmarks show faster startup times and lower memory usage than Node, though it experiences slower execution speeds.
