TypeScript,
compiled ahead of time.

// what it is

compile

Lex, parse, type-check, LLVM IR, then clang. A static executable. No VM, no JIT warmup.

types

No any. Parameters must be annotated. The only implicit conversion is Int32 to Float64. Generics are monomorphized.

memory

Automatic reference counting. The compiler inserts retain and release. Interned string literals are immortal.

async

async/await lowers to promise state machines, resumed on a worker pool. Servers run on poll(2).

wave

init, add, check, build, run. Packages live in one global registry, not a node_modules tree.

std

net, http, fs, crypto, sql (SQLite), including an express-style server.

// hello-world.tsm

Files are .tsm, kebab-case. wave run compiles and runs.

async function main() {
    let name = "marina"
    let todos = ["ship v0.2", "write docs"]

    const MSG = `Hello from ${name}, ${todos.length} todos`
    console.log(MSG)
}

$ wave run hello-world.tsm
Hello from marina, 2 todos

// same todos api, one vcpu

HTTP + SQLite, wrk on loopback. numbers and method

// three commands

$ wave init     # package.json + src/main.tsm
$ wave run
$ wave build    # native binary in ./.marina/
