AssemblyScript is a compiler and tooling suite used for WebAssembly module development. It converts a subset of TypeScript syntax into binary modules to achieve high execution speeds and cross-platform binary execution.
The project focuses on translating typed source code into the compact binary format required by WebAssembly runtimes. This allows for the movement of computationally heavy logic into binary modules for browser performance optimization and execution across different operating systems.
The compilation process involves TypeScript-compatible syntax analysis and the generation of binary modules using static type-based memory mapping and managed linear memory. The system utilizes ahead-of-time compiled bytecode and strict type-erasure to produce lean machine-level instructions.
