What Is Scrapscript? A Compact, Secure Language for Shareable Code
Scrapscript, a newly released compact and functional programming language, enables developers to create small, secure, and easily shareable programs that run on all major platforms and can be compiled to JavaScript for web deployment.
Scrapscript is a newly released programming language (January 23) designed to make software safe and easily shareable.
It is compact, pure, functional, content‑addressable, and network‑first, enabling developers to write small programs that can be distributed effortlessly.
The language was initially authored by Taylor Troesh, with major contributions from Max Bernstein and Chris Gregory, and built as a standalone version using Justine Tunney’s Cosmopolitan libc and a Python runtime.
Scrapscript executables run on all major platforms, and Docker containers built from them are extremely small—only about 25.5 MB.
The team is also developing a compiler written in Scrapscript itself; the compiler will eventually compile Scrapscript code to JavaScript via the Python interpreter, allowing the language to run in web browsers.
