AssemblyScript

AssemblyScript is a typescript-like language designed for compiling to WebAssembly.

export function fibonacci(n: i32): i32 {
    var a = 0, b = 1
    if (n > 0) {
        while (--n) {
            let t = a + b
            a = b
            b = t
        }
        return b
    }
    return a
}
