Native App Development Evolved

You're building a native app and want it to be fast and secure. But JavaScript engines in binaries can slow you down and introduce security risks. So, what if you could compile TypeScript to native code directly?

Enter Scriptc by Vercel

Scriptc is a TypeScript-to-Native compiler that eliminates the need for a JavaScript engine in your binary. This means your app will be smaller, faster, and more secure. And, with Scriptc, you can use the full power of TypeScript to build your native app.

For example, you can use Scriptc to build a desktop app with a native UI, or a mobile app with a seamless user experience. The possibilities are endless. But, how does it work?

How Scriptc Works

Scriptc uses a combination of TypeScript and native code generation to compile your code to native binaries. This process eliminates the need for a JavaScript engine, resulting in faster execution and lower memory usage. And, with Scriptc's compiler, you can catch errors at compile-time, rather than runtime.

But, what about performance? You might be thinking that compiling TypeScript to native code will result in slower performance. However, Scriptc's compiler is designed to optimize performance, resulting in faster execution times compared to traditional JavaScript engines.

Getting Started with Scriptc

To get started with Scriptc, you'll need to install the compiler and set up your project. You can then use the `scriptc` command to compile your TypeScript code to native binaries. For more information, check out the Scriptc GitHub page.

  • Install Scriptc using npm or yarn
  • Set up your project with a `scriptc.config` file
  • Compile your TypeScript code to native binaries using the `scriptc` command

So, what are you waiting for? Give Scriptc a try and start building faster, more secure native apps with TypeScript.
