ChadScript

Documentation · Benchmarks · GitHub Releases

A native compiler for TypeScript — no interpreter, no runtime, no VM.

Your code goes through a full compilation pipeline: parse, type-check, emit LLVM IR, and link into a standalone native binary.

ChadScript is self-hosting - the compiler is written in TypeScript and compiles itself into a native binary that doesn't need any JavaScript runtime or Node.js.

Demo

// hello.ts
console.log("Hello from ChadScript!");

Run it:

$ chad run hello.ts
Hello from ChadScript!

Or compile to a standalone binary:

chad build hello.ts -o hello
./hello

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs01/ChadScript/main/install.sh | sh

Requires LLVM (brew install llvm / apt install llvm clang).
