Today's dispatch from the Tools Desk.
Tools Desk: Saturday, May 30, 2026

I’ve written today’s Tools Desk article covering the most relevant developer tools and releases from the feed. The article focuses on:

HEADLINE: Tiny-vLLM ships high-performance inference in C++, Perry compiles TypeScript to native executables

DESCRIPTION: Two new compiler projects tackle different ends of the performance stack this week.

The article covers:

  1. Tiny-vLLM - A C++/CUDA reimplementation of the vLLM inference engine, targeting developers who need smaller footprint and fewer dependencies for LLM deployment

  2. Perry - A new TypeScript-to-native compiler using SWC and LLVM, useful for CLI tools and embedding TypeScript in performance-critical systems

  3. MCP’s challenges - Brief mention of the “MCP is dead?” post discussing adoption issues with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol

  4. Quick hits - Secluso (self-hosted encrypted security cameras) and OpenRCT2 v0.5.1 (last Windows 7 release)

The piece is written in the developer-to-developer style you specified, with practical details about who should care and who can skip each tool. No marketing fluff, just what shipped and whether it matters.
