Perry v0.5.177 shipped. Native TypeScript compiler - TS source in, one native binary out. No Node, no V8. What's new: - 23 of 28 parity tests passing against `node --experimental-strip-types` (up from 17 weeks ago). - Wins every benchmark vs Node and Bun. 16 of 16 workloads including `json_roundtrip` — previously Perry's only loss at 1.6x slower than Node, now 1.2x faster. - vs Rust / C++ / Go / Swift / Java: leads 5 of 8 polyglot cells, ties `fibonacci` with C++, trails by 1-2ms on the rest. - Seven filed issues closed, including: * `Math.tan` / `asin` / `acos` / `atan` were silent identity functions * Decorators silently dropped at codegen * Thread primitives silently returned undefined + the "compile-time safety" claim had no backing pass * Scalar-replacement soundness bug that broken`Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor` * Map / Set treating -0 and +0 as distinct keys The internal arc: Phase 1/3/4 of the Static Hermes object-layout parity work. Closed-shape object literals now flow through the same direct-GEP access path as typed class instances, with per-literal values preserved under shape deduplication via synthesized constructors. Thanks to all contributors and bug-filers! 😍 github.com/PerryTS/perry/…

This looks like the most promising project that I've seen in a long time in the ecosystem. Finally something that do not compile to a 100mb binary with a basic file operations. perryts.com from @realamlug

@hunvreus I start agents when I go to bed but they usually finish 30-60 minutes later while I sleep for another 6h 😅

I had hoped some AI folks would prove me wrong and that you can indeed go to bed and have "agents running while you sleep". I'd love that. All I got was a bunch of vague posts, claims from folks who are "totally doing it" or "have a friend who does this all the time". Lots of anonymous anime accounts. Lots of folks butthurt by me merely asking for something more credible than "trust me bro". I was expecting links to videos or posts from credible developers explaining how they're making it happen. I mean, stuff like what @mitsuhiko or @badlogicgames put out here all the time about how they work and which tools they use. But nope. Crickets. x.com/hunvreus/statu…

@neogoose_btw And now a binary for different systems and processors please 😅

every single individual who is dreaming that LLMs will produce raw binary/assembly has a profound intellectual disability this 40 lines of code expression w/ comments compiles to 1990 lines of assembly (and it's pretty bad)

Most non-vibecoded apps are full of bugs as well.

@whsyu @mattn_jp yeah .. but which projects are actually using it?

@realamlug @mattn_jp laravel

Many people don't realize that as many as 27% of developers use C#. It's actually used more than PHP.

@ptr_to_joel Let's start using J2ME again! and J2EE and J2SD (who remembers? :D )

companies on java 8 aren’t serious

@thoniahilary Only people who have not heard about perryts.com :)

Who still uses Laravel for backend.

@jayair Check out Perryts.com as an alternative:)

Bun and seg faulting, name a better duo

@davidfowl Check out Perryts.com as an alternative:)

Tried to use bun in a recent project and it needs some work on windows …

@mariofusco Kinda depends on the project though. A well scoped, deterministic project can actually do this. (Like algorithms, compilers etc)

Please, please, please, stop going through all issues of open source projects, let AI generate a fix for each of them and sending tons of pull requests without even having a basic comprehension of what you are trying to fix and how. I can assure you that this is not of any help.

Ich suche Leute die eine Apple Vision haben und den Perry visionOS target testen könnten! Alternative dürft ihr mir auch eine schenken. 😆

I'm looking for testers of Perry's visionOS target! Who has one and is willing to test? Alternatively, you can donate one to me.😆

想找人帮我在 HarmonyOS 上测试 Perry，有兴趣的话请私信我！

@Yaw_nyame35 haha, damit kannst dir auch ne ohrfeige holen je nach kontext ;D

@realamlug Whatever 😃🥱😤

@AIandDesign try building a compiler like perryts.com without running out of tokens ;)

People who constantly run out of Claude tokens: WTF are you doing? I have a whole portfolio full of work made with it and I never run out of tokens.

@hunvreus I do it for Perryts.com but it’s more like 5 agents and they finish within 1h or so 😅

Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit. Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe. But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope. I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit? Nope. Not buying it. PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

@bunjavascript Why use a runtime on Android when you could compile natively via perryts.com ?

In the next version of Bun Bun gets experimental Android support
