scriptc

vercel-labs/scriptc · ★ 6.1K

scriptc is an experimental compiler that turns TypeScript and JavaScript into typed IR, readable C, LLVM IR, native assembly/objects, native executables, or WebAssembly modules, producing standalone binaries that do not need Node.js to run.

+5

emscripten

emscripten-core/emscripten · ★ 27.7K

Emscripten is an open-source compiler that turns C and C++ code into WebAssembly using LLVM and Binaryen, so native codebases can run on the Web, in Node.js, and in other wasm runtimes.

+5

simdjson

simdjson/simdjson · ★ 24.4K

A C++ library that parses JSON at gigabytes-per-second speed using SIMD instructions and microparallel algorithms. It ships in production systems like Node.js, ClickHouse and Meta Velox.

compiler

edgcpp/compiler · ★ 936

This is the open-source EDG C/C++ compiler front end project: a parser and semantic analyzer for C and C++ that is famous for matching Clang, GCC, and MSVC's parsing behavior (including their quirks) so vendors can embed it in their own tools.

    cppinsights

    4.7Kandreasfertig/cppinsights · C++

    C++ Insights is a Clang-based source-to-source transformation tool that shows C++ code the way the compiler actually sees it, revealing implicit things like compiler-generated special member functions, implicit casts, and what lambdas, range-based for-loops, or auto/decltype actually expand to.

    libfyaml

    346pantoniou/libfyaml · C

    libfyaml is a high-performance YAML 1.2 and JSON parser/emitter for C, built for zero-copy operation with full document-tree and event-streaming APIs, and it passes the full YAML testsuite.

    RingOut

    163jackpoison-prog/RingOut · C

    RingOut is a native PC port of a GameCube fighting game (disc ID GRSEAF), made by static recompilation rather than emulation: the original PowerPC executable is translated ahead of time into C, compiled for x86-64, and run as native code inside a Dolphin-derived runtime that handles graphics, audio, input and hardware emulation around it.

    GoodmansKernel

    151zer0condition/GoodmansKernel · C

    GoodmansKernel is a signed Windows kernel-mode driver that embeds the wasm3 interpreter, letting you load unsigned .wasm modules and run them inside the kernel with direct FFI access to nt/hal exports. You write kernel logic in C or Rust, compile it to wasm32, load it into the driver, and iterate without re-signing each payload.
