Because it can debug the LL output code directly and much more efficiently than humans could.

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 ra…

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…

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 Rus…

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…

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 th…

I kept missing the drag window on macOS's built-in screenshot thumbnail. It fades out in ~5 seconds and if you're not fast enough, you have to go find the file on your Desktop. Eas…

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, …

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 macO…
