[ feature ] embed native language support #55
Description
It would be cool if there's a way to directly use native languages in typescript!
Take rust as an example ( as it's also using LLVM, it would probably be easier to implement )
// main.ts
import { read_file } from "./config.rs"
function main(){
let config = read_file('./config.ini').value;
}// config.rs
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::Error;
fn read_file(path: &str) -> Result<String, Error> {
let mut file = File::open(path)?;
let mut contents = String::new();
file.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;
Ok(contents)
}This would not only bring the great stdlib and other libraries of the language to this TSC but also take advantage of the language's strong points!

Have a look at project
\TypeScriptCompiler\docs\how\cmake_vulkan\you will see how to use native libraries with typescript native compiler.ASDAlexander77 commentedon Aug 6, 2023
FYI: TypeScript compiles code in the same way as any C compiler. so u can reference any function in C code and any C function in TypeScript Native Compiler ... as all code will be compiled into OBJ files LINKER will resolve names.

second option can be to use ''import "./dll.dll"'' and then you can provide function names with "@dllimport" attributes
for example. if you have dll with function "point"
