Developer fails to compile TypeScript compiler into native binary with scriptc
A developer attempted to compile the TypeScript 6 compiler into a native binary using scriptc, a new TypeScript-to-native compiler. The build reached 90% static compilation (51,045 of 56,117 statements) before hitting an internal compiler error. The experiment highlights scriptc's current limitations while demonstrating its potential for large TypeScript codebases.
Meridian48 take
The 90% static compilation rate is impressive for a week-old tool, but the failure on TypeScript's own compiler underscores how far scriptc is from production-ready native compilation of complex codebases.
