Teal
Teal is a statically typed dialect of Lua that performs type checking at compile time through a type annotation layer and the tl compiler. It generates standard Lua code and supports gradual typing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Teal is known for job tracking and resume matching, Rezi focuses on AI content generation and real-time scoring, and Jobscan centers on ATS keyword matching and pass-rate checking.
The resume tool space NEWCV.IO is entering already has many players, such as Teal, Rezi, and Jobscan.
Teal's core idea is that developers write Teal code with type annotations, and the tl compiler generates standard Lua code.
Teal programs can run in any environment that supports Lua, including game engines, embedded systems, and the existing Lua ecosystem.
Teal allows gradual typing, letting you start from untyped code and add type annotations incrementally; the type checker catches common errors such as type mismatches and undefined variables, but does not change Lua's runtime behavior.
Teal is best suited to projects already using Lua that want stronger type guarantees, such as game logic, configuration systems, and embedded scripting.
For scenarios pursuing extreme runtime performance or relying on Lua's dynamic features, Teal's type layer may bring additional constraints and requires trade-offs.
Record types are the core means in Teal of describing Lua table structures, with syntax such as `local p: {string:number}` or named records like `local type Point = {x:number, y:number}`, corresponding to the Lua idiom of using tables as structs/objects.
Record types provide precise checking on field access—misspelled field names or wrongly typed assignments will error at compile time; open records also allow merging with other records via & and relaxing extra fields with ...
Teal's type system covers basic types (number, string, boolean, nil), table types, function types, and optional record types, and supports generics, union types, and type aliases.
