Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary
Vercel Labs has released Scriptc, a TypeScript-to-native compiler that converts ordinary TypeScript code directly into small, fast native executables without requiring Node.js, V8, or any JavaScript engine in the binary. The tool compiles up to 99% of typical TypeScript code statically to native code with ~2ms startup time, while unsupported features can optionally run through an embedded JavaScript engine, ensuring nothing is silently miscompiled. Installation is simple via npm, with macOS arm64 as the primary platform and support for Linux and Windows through cross-compilation.
