   Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)▲65

   I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and then abandoned it. Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow. The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All…

    DBOS TypeScript – Lightweight Durable Execution Built on Postgres▲77

    Hi HN - Peter from DBOS here with my co-founder Qian (qianl_cs) Today we want to share our TypeScript library for lightweight durable execution. We’ve been working on it since last year and recently released v2.0 with a ton of new features and major API overhaul. https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-ts Durable execution means persisting the execution state of your program while it runs, so if it is ever interrupted or crashes, it automatically resumes from where it left off. Durable execution is useful for a lot of things: - Orchestrating long-running or…

    Hyke, a programming language that runs on TypeScript's type system▲38

    This absurd project started when I read a couple of blog posts that got very popular around here about solving the N queens puzzle using only Haskell's type system and TypeScript's type system. I figured I could implement Peano arithmetic using only TypeScript's type system. Turns out this have been done several times before, but I did it anyway. While working on it, I realized that you could emulate functions with conditional recursive types, writing them in a way that strongly resembles the equations that can be found in some functional programming languages. So I thought I could write a…

    QVAC SDK, a universal JavaScript SDK for building local AI applications▲30

    Hi folks, today we're launching QVAC SDK [0], a universal JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for building local AI applications across desktop and mobile. The project is fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. Our goal is to make it easier for developers to build useful local-first AI apps without having to stitch together a lot of different engines, runtimes, and platform-specific integrations. Under the hood, the SDK is built on top of QVAC Fabric [1], our cross-platform inference and fine-tuning engine. QVAC SDK uses Bare [2], a lightweight cross-platform JavaScript runtime that is…

    Turn OpenAPI to Universal TypeScript SDKs▲27

    Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having…

    Mystral Native – Run JavaScript games natively with WebGPU (no browser)▲50

    Hi HN, I've been building Mystral Native — a lightweight native runtime that lets you write games in JavaScript/TypeScript using standard Web APIs (WebGPU, Canvas 2D, Web Audio, fetch) and run them as standalone desktop apps. Think "Electron for games" but without Chromium. Or a JS runtime like Node, Deno, or Bun but optimized for WebGPU (and bundling a window / event system using SDL3). Why: I originally started by starting a new game engine in WebGPU, and I loved the iteration loop of writing Typescript & instantly seeing the changes in the browser with hot reloading. After…
