scriptc by Vercel: Native TypeScript Compilation Without a JavaScript Engine

Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary

I built scriptc to compile standard TypeScript directly into fast, self-contained native binaries without needing Node or a JavaScript engine. Most of your code is static enough to run natively, while dynamic parts like npm dependencies can be embedded safely. This approach delivers millisecond startup times and tiny binary sizes while maintaining byte-for-byte compatibility with Node.js behavior.

Nothing is ever silently miscompiled.
