Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Perry is a tool that compiles TypeScript code directly into native binaries for 10 platforms (macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, watchOS, tvOS, WebAssembly, and Web) without requiring a runtime or Electron. It features 25+ native UI widgets that map to platform-native components (AppKit, GTK4, Win32, UIKit, JNI), and claims faster performance than Node.js and Bun on most benchmarks. Version 0.5.306 introduces a generational garbage collector and lazy JSON tape default.
