Teyru

A Java-shaped language that compiles to a native binary. No JVM, no bytecode.

hello.teyru

class Hello {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello, Teyru!")
  }
}

Install the compiler

go install github.com/teyru-lang/Teyru/cmd/teyru@latest

Requires Go and clang or gcc.

What it is

Native binary: Compiled through a Go front end, generated C and clang/LLVM into a native executable — no JVM, no bytecode.
Standard library: Written in Teyru itself, and compiled and checked together with every program.
Annotations: Lombok-compatible, expanded into ordinary members during semantic analysis.
Web framework: A Spring-shaped container and web layer: SpringApplication.run reads application.properties, @ConfigurationProperties binds it, @Profile picks beans, and advice, interceptors, static files and CORS are all there — with the routes compiled.
Sessions: Sessions.of(req) finds the session a request's cookie names, and the server stamps that cookie on the answer on the way out, so a run of requests has one identity.
Validation: @NotNull, @Size, @Min and @Max on a field, checked by Validation.check; a bound body that breaks one is a 400 that says which field.
Uploads: HttpRequest.multipart(name) hands back the part a multipart form sent, as a MultipartFile: field name, original filename, content type, bytes.
HTTP client: Http.get and HttpClient send real requests and reuse a keep-alive connection, and the accept loop (ServerTask) runs on a thread — a client and a server in one program.
WebSocket: Implement WebSocketHandler and mark it @WebSocketMapping to have it declared like a controller; WebSocketSession is the connection after the upgrade.
Threads: Real threads: Thread and Runnable, real synchronized (the method modifier too) and Object.wait/notify, with a collector that stops every thread before it traces.
JSON binding: Gson-shaped, with the object binding generated by the compiler.
Garbage collector: A C runtime with a conservative mark-and-sweep collector and no virtual machine.
