### TL;DR
scriptc is a TypeScript-to-native compiler that transforms ordinary TypeScript code into small, fast, self-contained executables. It eliminates the need for Node.js, V8, or any embedded JavaScript engine for statically compiled code, resulting in significantly faster startup times and smaller binary sizes.
