Compile JavaScript and NerdLang in native binaries.

NerdLang is a substract of JS with some additions, focus on efficiency.

Nerd is aJavaScript native compiler aiming to make JavaScript universal, Nerd is able to compile native apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Raspberry, STM32 and more.

Nerd is in active development, join us onDiscord if you need more information.

• Roadmap on Trello

• Supporting EcmaScript 3 standard (then 5, 6 ...)
• Supporting NodeJS and NPM ecosystem
• Supporting a maximum of platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Arduino, ...)
• Being secure
• Embeding debuging tools
• Compile everything that can be transpiled in JS: Ruby (Opal), Python (Transcript, Brython, JavaScrypthon), TypeScript ...

• WindowsInstall Mingw and Clang for Windows here:http://winlibs.com/ or Clang here:https://releases.llvm.org/

You can also install Linux for Windows and use a linux system on Windows

You need MinGW with POSIX threads

• Linux / FreeBSDInstall it with your distro (apt install gcc, yum install gcc, ...).You can use GCC, CLANG, as well as any derivative of those compilers (arm-gcc ...)

• Apple iOSInstall xCode and you are ready.

You can check your installation withnpm start njs_test

Simplest way to use Nerd:

nerd file.js / file.ng

The output file name will be automatically chosen regarding the target. You can specify another output with-o something.out

You can select a preset

nerd file.js --preset [none|speed|size]

You can also run the compiled executable just after compilation using --run:

nerd file.js --run

You can enable the quiet mode with --quiet:

nerd file.js --quiet

Changing the stack size (useful on Windows):

nerd --stack 10000000 flood.js
