Biên dịch ahead-of-time TypeScript sang gốc.
One Codebase, Many Targets.

Perry compiles TypeScript to native GUI and CLI apps for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, tvOS, watchOS, Android, Wear OS, Windows, Linux, and Web/WebAssembly, with a separate HarmonyOS preview. Native binaries statically link the Perry runtime and GC; they do not require Node.js or an external JavaScript engine.

Tại sao chọn Perry?

The current compiler, runtime, UI, and tooling surfaces — with limitations called out

No External JS Engine

Native builds run without Node.js, Bun, Deno, or an external JavaScript engine installed. The Perry runtime and garbage collector are statically linked into each target-specific binary.

Size Scales With Features

Hello world can be about 330 KB and Mango is published at about 7 MB. Applications that link the full standard library or optional V8 fallback can be much larger; size depends on target, imports, and build profile.

Cacheable Builds

Perry caches module objects and can pin a CPU baseline for portable output. Default host builds tune for the local CPU, and final binaries may contain platform UUIDs, timestamps, or signatures, so byte-for-byte cross-machine reproducibility is not promised.

Tracked Node.js APIs

Native implementations cover many familiar Node.js APIs across 53 tracked modules. Coverage is broad but not complete; use perry check and the published limitations for your project.

Các package npm thực tế

Many pure TypeScript and JavaScript packages compile natively. Packages that depend on unsupported dynamic or engine-specific semantics may need the optional embedded V8 fallback or may not work.

35+ Native UI Widgets

35+ native UI widgets map to platform toolkits including AppKit, UIKit, GTK4, Win32, Android SDK APIs, SwiftUI on watches, and a DOM/CSS bridge on Web/WASM. Availability varies by target.

Compile-Time Plugin System

Modules can compose at build time and statically linked dependencies can become direct native calls. Dynamic dispatch and runtime support remain where JavaScript semantics require them.

True Multi-Threading

Real OS threads with parallelMap, parallelFilter, and spawn. Mutable captures are rejected by default; SharedArrayBuffer and Atomics provide explicit shared-memory coordination, with documented typed-view caveats.

Compile-Time i18n

Automatic string extraction, CLDR plural rules for 30+ locales, and compile-time validation. Translations are baked into the binary; lookup cost depends on the generated catalog and call site.

Từ mã nguồn đến App Store

The perry publish command supports build, signing, packaging, verification, and submission workflows. Availability and prerequisites vary by platform and hosted-service configuration.

Build & Sign

Create platform artifacts and use configured signing credentials. Apple, Android, and Windows workflows require their platform SDKs, accounts, and certificates.

Distribute

Prepare store submissions or direct-download artifacts for supported targets. Store acceptance and processing remain controlled by each store.

Verify

Run available launch and UI checks through Perry and Geisterhand. Test depth and target coverage depend on the selected environment.

Local compilation is free and MIT licensed. Check hosted-service availability → /publish

So sánh framework

Perry’s native compilation model

Ahead-of-time machine code and real platform widgets, with an explicitly linked runtime and documented compatibility tradeoffs.

Designed for

  • Ahead-of-time machine code through LLVM
  • Real platform widgets where each target supports them
  • No external Node.js installation or JavaScript engine by default

Tradeoffs to evaluate

  • The Perry runtime and GC are statically linked; overhead is not “none”
  • Perry implements a practical TypeScript and Node.js subset; some packages need the optional V8 fallback
  • Platform capabilities and maturity differ across desktop, mobile, wearable, TV, and Web/WASM targets

Competitor-specific pages are dated and link to upstream documentation. View sourced comparisons

Viết TypeScript, xuất bản gốc

Use familiar TypeScript syntax and validate each API or package against Perry’s current compatibility surface.

const greeting = "Hello, World!";
console.log(greeting);
 
// Output size varies with target and linked features
// No external JavaScript runtime installation needed!

Các câu hỏi thường gặp

Mọi điều mọi người thắc mắc trước khi biên dịch binary đầu tiên của mình

Perry có cần Node.js hay runtime không?

Native Perry binaries run without Node.js, Bun, Deno, or an external JavaScript engine installed. They do include the Perry runtime and garbage collector, statically linked. Packages that need engine semantics can use the optional embedded V8 fallback.

Các binary đã biên dịch lớn cỡ nào?

Size depends on the target, imports, and build profile. The published examples range from about 330 KB for hello world to about 7 MB for Mango; full-standard-library or optional-V8 builds can be much larger. Treat any size as a measured example, not a universal output size.

Tôi có thể dùng gói npm không?

Many pure TypeScript/JavaScript packages compile natively, and roughly 50 package/API implementations are tracked. Compatibility is not universal: packages using native addons, unsupported dynamic behavior, or engine-specific semantics may need the optional V8 fallback or may not work. Run perry check and consult the limitations.

Perry hỗ trợ những nền tảng nào?

Perry documents 11 targets: macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, tvOS, watchOS, Android, Wear OS, Windows, Linux, and Web/WASM. Web and WASM are aliases; HarmonyOS is a separate preview. Platform maturity and API coverage differ, so consult the platform guide.

Perry có miễn phí và mã nguồn mở không?

The compiler and runtime repository is MIT licensed, and local compilation requires no account. Hosted Perry Publish and commercial support are separate services; availability, limits, and pricing are confirmed in the service or in writing.

Perry khác gì so với Bun hay Deno compile?

Bun and Deno standalone executables bundle their runtimes; Perry native builds compile through LLVM and do not embed a JavaScript engine by default, although they statically link the Perry runtime and GC. Exact size and startup comparisons are version-, platform-, and workload-specific. See the dated Perry vs Bun and Perry vs Deno pages.

Perry khác gì so với Electron hay Tauri?

Electron ships Chromium and Node.js; Tauri uses a system webview with native-side application code. Perry instead maps its UI model to platform widgets where supported. Bundle size and platform capability vary, so use the dated Perry vs Electron and Perry vs Tauri comparisons rather than a universal size claim.

Perry đã trưởng thành đến mức nào?

Perry is pre-1.0 and changes quickly. Real projects use it today, but language, package, and platform parity are still active work. Review the showcase, current limitations, and changelog before committing a production workload.
