  • Nim

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  • For now the aim of this project is first and foremost refactoring and making it easier to contribute and improve the main code base of the compiler, as indicated by the "near-term" timeline that is shown in the readme.

    This is mostly a disclaimer for the common reaction that invariably starts to move the discussion in the direction of "why not contribute to mainline instead", "disgruntled people" etc. etc.

    At the moment we are focused on making it easier to work with the codebase - more documentation, cutting down on decades-old cruft and legacy features, unraveling mysteries of the commit messages that were written with this attitude https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/19211#issuecomment-9859...

    Applying data-oriented design principles, writing a specification, providing guides for compiler developers https://nim-works.github.io/nimskull/debug.html and focusing on what is important for people who work in the project.

  • ayo

    Discontinued A fork of Node.js. Humans before technology.

  • This fork reminds me of the Ayo[1] fork on Nodejs. At least NimSkull actually has some plans/motivation to do work beyond adding an administrative document.

  • nimskull

    An in development statically typed systems programming language; with sustainability at its core. We, the community of users, maintain it.

  • pasvulkan

    Vulkan header generator, OOP-style API wrapper, framework and prospective Vulkan-based game engine for Object Pascal

  • That reminds me of another project. Whatever you do, do not write the commit messages like that, and your are doing great: https://github.com/BeRo1985/pasvulkan/commits/master

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
