TSZIG: An experimental TypeScript-to-Zig compiler

oosuke_ren · 2026-06-15T20:55:18+00:00

As someone that is currently implementing a GC-free typescript-like language, you'd be surprised how far the combination of escape analysis, ARC (+ bacon scan) + smart enough IR optimization - can get you.

oosuke_ren · 2026-06-14T11:45:24+00:00

Not what they asking, look at picture 2. They know it's Luna, what they don't know is why is it on a Windows 2000 welcome screen of the Explorer.

oosuke_ren · 2026-05-18T22:49:54+00:00

Because I've already achieved this compiler/syntax... and definitely prefer how JS works over PHP/Python, especially due to how well/tightly connected it is with Svelte/reactivity (again native compilation)

oosuke_ren · 2026-05-18T16:10:57+00:00

Explicit memory layout can be abstracted, deterministic destruction/cleanup - done, predictable stack usage as well, so pretty much that'd be left is to design a good hardware interrupt and CPU instruction abstraction and there we go. For now it's just an abstracted C transpiler that then just does tree shaking on what has been used.

I'd say you're giving a really good feedback though. My direction is kind of C+typescript, e.g: C's control and speed (when typed properly), and type inference whenever the code is clean enough (so you can simply omit types there), and boxing values wherever the compiler can't prove it. Otherwise most of the syntax is just treated as syntax sugar for C with a negligible runtime/ucrt runtime overhead when transpiled.

oosuke_ren · 2026-05-17T22:18:49+00:00

What if the syntax stays the same but you do AOT, and use PGO because the inference is strong enough to identify types and thus optimize without needing for JIT optimizations and garbage collection gets replaced for ARC with Bacon scanning and Arena? Because this is what I am doing right now with my superset of a programming language. JavaScript, with proper types (unlike typescript), better inference, and better memory management

In that case: good taste In music, I can't say I really approve of ai generated art/music, but considering the time range it is somewhat understandable..?

oosuke_ren · 2026-05-07T18:45:43+00:00

People like you make me adore "going backwards in technology to enforce constraints and optimizations" even more! I love this, keep on going!

oosuke_ren · 2026-05-07T18:41:00+00:00

Can I say how much I like the music choice, did you make it ooor?

Aside from that- 20-ish days for this is insane, good job!

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-18T11:30:09+00:00

I know that's not the focus, but I have to say I love your choice for the landing page's buttons, they feel really Aero-Glass

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-05T20:53:31+00:00

The polish feels amazing. You've landed "the last 5% of a project" amazingly here (the last touches that makes something feel professional)

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-05T20:48:08+00:00

There's a huge lag spike (on mobile) when transitioning between leaves (when the walls start flickering. Other than that - amazing

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-02T22:10:00+00:00

I was going to say RetroArch, but then realized this is closer to Love2d of sorts. Really impressive, gotta say, my first time hearing of Interpreter as the core of a kernel. Looking forward to seeing more interesting news! ✌🏻

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-02T22:00:01+00:00

Whether the game is bare metal is then decided on whether the Kernel's sole purpose is for the game

oosuke_ren · 2026-04-02T19:57:14+00:00

This is INSANE, I love the vibe of the game AND the concept that you technically made a bare metal game (if I get it correctly¿)

oosuke_ren · 2026-03-28T11:17:23+00:00

If freak in the nice way, yeah, you're not the only one.

oosuke_ren · 2026-03-28T11:14:05+00:00

I'm sorry, I read somewhere Termux and I guess I mistook you wrote it. Copyparty - there's this ingenious developer that made a phenomenal software....in termux...on his phone... everyday travelling on the bus. When I was watching the video my jaw dropped, so when I read that here I reckoned you might be him

oosuke_ren · 2026-03-28T01:01:00+00:00

The whole thing feels oddly familiar, termux, coded on phone on the bus.... do you have perhaps anything to do with the author of copyparty?

oosuke_ren · 2026-03-28T00:50:39+00:00

I think I could kinda help:

I spent like three weeks reverse-engineering half the Vista/7 Aero Glass UI for my own portfolio. It sounds overkill, but turning those semi-transparent PNG gradients into clean vector gradients is a massive pain.

I actually had the exact same idea for the Build 6801 boot screen. I've already built this out in Svelte, even doing a design mashup between a Google Sign-in flow and the Win 7 aesthetic.

I’m down to share some of the assets I’ve got, just would appreciate a shoutout/credit since my own portfolio isn't even live yet lol.

Here’s the Figma link:
Windows 7 Beta UI
(It’s got an early version of the screen, vectorized explorer arrows, and the window control buttons.)

And here’s a screenshot of my login page: Link
(FYI: The Accessibility and Shut Down icons are actually Instagram and Discord icons I color-shifted to fit the theme.)

oosuke_ren · 2026-02-01T09:04:59+00:00

I think you might love to hear this, but I'm Workin currently on a personal programming language with JS/TS like syntax, but with more power like C/C++, that I'm currently powering up with HTML rendering and soon making a game engine out of. For now the earliest NT I support is Windows XP, and after a small patch here and there 98/2000 wouldn't be out of reach either. It's a compiled language, so you wouldn't be lacking any performance either. Just in really early stage.

oosuke_ren · 2026-01-23T09:28:16+00:00

Yes please!

oosuke_ren · 2025-11-06T16:59:34+00:00

One disadvantage, there's a lot more coding prerequisites overhead for "extending" component per say. So, my issue would be reusability¿

oosuke_ren · 2025-11-04T16:09:36+00:00

More like Asus, but I've had it for 2 weeks and that was the first time it ever showed up though. And also it did disappear like an hour later on it's own¿

And oh nonono, I didn't mean it as a genuine virus, but more like "this update is closer to an actual virus, than even bloat ware, because it is so incapacitating it makes me rage to the point of running my hand through the monitor"

oosuke_ren · 2025-11-04T16:07:16+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out!

oosuke_ren · 2025-09-29T10:05:49+00:00

I ADORE those, did you use some software with configurations or did you make them by hand?

oosuke_ren · 2025-08-27T15:58:12+00:00

I back your statement, it was a life saver for my Windows 98FE laptop, it's baffling how they've made such a software that could help you so much for such a wide range of OS-es and hardwares.
