Yes. One that makes use of the underlying UI library for the specific system (macOS UI, Win32 UI, GTK4, ....) The Perry runtime is surprisiginly small, especially since we (LLVM rather) strip out all that is no needed in one of the compile

RUntime is an overused term here. The point is "no JS runtime, JIT-type" Of course there is a (native) runtime, as there is for all languages (like you said) :)

This exchange is actually funny. Now, to tell you the truth, for a lot of tickets AI does generate legit the better answers than me. And my time is quite limited. That said, I will always stand behind my posts, AI-assisted or not. Now the t

Hey smasher164, thanks for bringing up the concern. I am proggeramlug (or amlug, either way), Ralph, founder of perry. Yes, Perry is heavily AI-assisted - similar to the Bun to Rust port is too. Your concern is real and I don't claim t

Hey ventana, (I'm the founder of Perry) thanks for giving it a try and let me be upfront with you: Compiling express has been one of the hardest challenges for Perry. I'm 99% sure it still does not work out of the box just yet - w

Hi jeswin, thanks for your comment. I'm Ralph, the founder of Perry (though at this point we are quite a few core contributors + maintainers). You are right to be skeptical and yes, numbers are the hardest. In fact we started adding so

Are they wrong though? AI or not, compiling code is math - not philosophy. So what's wrong here?

Is there any Typescript that is compiled wrongly? If so, go ahead and show me.

I'm the "AI cringe guy" if you want to call it that. Yet I am still waiting for someone to produce typescript that compiles wrongly. I have limited time, and the little feedback that guy provided turned out to be perfectly we

We're building a TypeScript-to-native compiler (Perry) and wanted to evaluate whether Claude Code's codebase is something we could realistically compile. Since it's closed source, that meant reconstruction. Claude dispatched

Hey HN — I've been building Perry, a compiler that takes TypeScript and emits native binaries. No V8, no runtime, no Electron. It maps to platform-native UI widgets: AppKit on macOS, UIKit on iOS, Android Views on Android, GTK4 on Linu
