Marina is an experimental, strictly typed TypeScript subset that emits LLVM IR and builds native executables.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-21 issue.

For: TypeScript developers exploring native compilation
Worth noticing: The install page says native Windows is unsupported; Windows users are directed to build and run Marina inside WSL.

Field notes

The documented pipeline lexes, parses, type-checks, emits LLVM IR, then invokes clang to produce a static executable. Marina omits `any`, requires annotated parameters, monomorphizes generics, and uses automatic reference counting. Its listed standard-library modules include networking, HTTP, files, crypto, and SQLite; the installation notes route Windows users through WSL.
