# Vercel's Scriptc compiles TypeScript to native code, no JavaScript engine required

Vercel has released Scriptc, a new compiler that transforms TypeScript directly into native machine code without requiring a JavaScript engine in the resulting binary. This allows TypeScript applications to run as standalone executables with potentially better performance and smaller file sizes. The tool represents a significant shift in how TypeScript can be deployed, especially for serverless or edge environments.
