How It's Built
Pry is written in TypeScript and compiled with Perry to native machine code. Its executable statically links the Perry runtime and GC and does not require an external Node.js installation or JavaScript engine.

Perry Compile
SWC parse → type resolution → LLVM codegen
Native Binary
Standalone executable with the Perry runtime and GC statically linked; no external Node.js installation required
