Vercel Labs Ships scriptc, a TypeScript-to-Native Compiler That Leaves the JavaScript Engine Behind

infoq.com/news/2026/09/vercel-scriptc-node

Vercel's new scriptc compiles TypeScript straight to native binaries with no Node or V8, starting 1.78ms versus Node's 61.78ms. But real-world tests show it can run 7.5 times slower than Node, chokes on existing projects with hundreds of errors, and pushes anything typed as "any" into a bundled QuickJS engine.
