SCUA

Early access

Join the waiting list

SCUA is being handed out in batches while the rough edges get sanded off. Tell us where to send yours.

No newsletter. One email when your access is ready. Privacy.

What you get

A prebuilt compiler for macOS (Apple Silicon), Linux (x86_64 and arm64) and Windows — one small binary, notarized on macOS, with no runtime to install alongside it. Plus the manual, the examples corpus, and a direct line to us when something breaks.

Why there's a list at all

SCUA already runs real programs: the interpreter matches Lua, the JIT trades blows with LuaJIT, and the language surface is settled enough that we're writing documentation rather than rewriting syntax. What isn't settled is everything around it — packaging, the module system, the parts of the standard library that only reveal their gaps once someone else uses them.

Handing it out in batches means we can actually answer you when you hit one of those gaps, instead of watching a hundred people hit it at once.

Nothing to wait for in the meantime

The whole compiler runs in your browser: the playground is the real thing built to WebAssembly, not a simulation. The tutorial builds a working battle game from nothing, and the manual documents the language as it stands today. None of it needs an account.

What we do with your address

We email you when your access is ready, and we email you if we need to ask a question about what you're building. That's the lot — no newsletter, no sharing it with anyone else, and it comes off the list the moment you ask. The details are in the privacy policy; to be removed, write to contact@scua.dev.
