AssemblyScript compiles a variant of TypeScript (basically JavaScript with types) to WebAssembly using Binaryen. It generates lean and mean WebAssembly modules while being just an npm install away.

Most of the maintainers and contributors do this open source work in their free time. If you use AssemblyScript for a serious task or plan to do so, and you'd like us to invest more time on it, please donate to our OpenCollective. By sponsoring this project, your logo will show up below. Thank you so much for your support!

A development environment can be set up by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript.git
cd assemblyscript
npm install
npm link

The link step is optional and makes the development instance available globally. The full process is documented as part of the repository:

• Compiler instructions
• Runtime instructions
• Test instructions
