Effect Compiled Experiment

This repo is a small native TypeScript compiler zoo for a shared set of Effect-based Node programs.

The rule for this repo is that compilers are tested against the same blessed source files:

• src/effect/logger.ts
• src/effect/forking.ts
• src/effect/web.ts

Targets

Category	Blessed source	Node	Perry	Porffor
logger	src/effect/logger.ts	npm run node:logger	npm run compile:perry:logger	npm run compile:porffor:logger
forking	src/effect/forking.ts	npm run node:forking	npm run compile:perry:forking	npm run compile:porffor:forking
web	src/effect/web.ts	npm run node:web	npm run compile:perry:web	npm run compile:porffor:web

Quick Checks

npm run typecheck
npm run smoke:node

The web server target is long-running:

PORT=3000 npm run node:web
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:3000/
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/health

Compiler Checks

Perry and Porffor intentionally target the same Effect sources. A failure is useful data and should be recorded with the command and error.

Native Compilation

Perry:

npm run compile:perry:logger
npm run compile:perry:forking
npm run compile:perry:web

Porffor:

npm run compile:porffor:logger
npm run compile:porffor:forking
npm run compile:porffor:web

Generated binaries are written to dist/ and are intentionally ignored by git.

Current Status

• Node/tsx smoke checks pass for the shared Effect logger and forking targets.
• Node/tsx web smoke passes for the shared Effect web target at / and /api/health.
• Perry native compilation has worked for the Effect web target, but the resulting web binary starts without opening a listening socket on this machine.
• Perry native compilation for the logger target previously stalled after the Perry runtime rebuild with no output binary. Keep this as a focused runtime smoke case.
• Porffor is pointed at the same Effect sources with --module.
• npm run porffor:logger currently fails with Error: porffor: no generation for ImportDeclaration.
• npm run compile:porffor:logger and npm run compile:porffor:web currently produce binaries, but those binaries exit with Uncaught.
• npm run compile:porffor:forking currently fails with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith').
