“TypeScript → native executable” always makes me squint a bit, because SWC is just the front-end parse/transform step — you still need a runtime story (bundled JS engine, AOT to something like WASM, or a whole new backend) to get to a real native binary.

I’m curious what Perry is actually shipping under the hood: is it basically “Node/Deno-in-a-box” with fast startup, or are they doing something more like a custom runtime + linker. The “0 ms startup” line reads like marketing until you see a hello-world binary size and what syscalls it’s doing on launch.
