Summary
Perry compiles TypeScript directly to native executables using SWC for parsing and LLVM for code generation, producing standalone binaries (2–5 MB) with no runtime dependencies. It targets 10+ platforms including macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, and WebAssembly, and offers an optional V8 runtime for npm package compatibility. The tool includes 25+ native UI widgets, a comprehensive standard library, deterministic builds, and compile-time plugins, outperforming Node and Bun on most benchmarks.
