The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why are you building a programming language?
I also long ago was working on an AikiFramework project that had simple language that could be used with HTML, to quickly create web apps. And I was experimenting with better syntax for its language.

The 3 languages question
my own language Star! enjoyability is one of my main goals with the language, along with the "powerful, productive, and predictable" line

Language Design: Against Mixed-cased Type Names
This is actually done by several bootstrapped languages, such as Crystal, Nim, Raku, and even my own language Star

Your language's favorite MINOR feature?
In Star, commas and newlines are analogous everywhere, even inside array literals. This actually solves the issue of trailing commas by not needing commas at all

Building a new .NET language, doing to C# what Kotlin did to Java
I really like Nemerle's OOP+FP hybrid model, and I've taken a lot of it to heart while designing my language Star, which is similar in spirit.

extending enums
Most languages are afraid to for some reason, most likely because it "breaks tradition" or whatever. The only languages I'm aware of that allow this are Hack (for C-like enums) and my language Star (for both C-like and OCaml-like enums)

Is there a language with structural type constraints for variants and records?
It's currently a work-in-progress, mainly due to subtyping issues with generics (which I'm honestly too lazy to fix rn, focusing on other stuff first). the code is located here, although be aware that it's a bit messy lol

November 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Making lots of progress on Star's typechecker, which has been very difficult due to its expansive type system. Although still not completely finished or useable, it does at least work a bit. Currently need to implement type variable expansion/substitution, "lazy" type refinement (because I have no clue what else to call it), and some basic support for existentials

Initially-nullable types
I think this is referred to as partial or lazy initialization. I have this feature in my own language Star (which us null-safe), but I don't have an actual null literal for this purpose

Programming Language Checklist
Sure I guess, here's one for Star: ``` You appear to be advocating a new: [X] functional [X] imperative [X] object-oriented [ ] procedural [ ] stack-based [X] "multi-paradigm" [ ] lazy [ ] eager [X] statically-typed [ ] dynamically-typed [ ] pure [X] impure [ ] non-hygienic [ ] visual [X] beginner-friendly [ ] non-programmer-friendly [ ] completely incomprehensible programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work.

Typechecking new type system features
Hello, I'm the developer of the Star programming language, and I have some questions about how to typecheck several new/uncommon features that it has, and looking for feedback on it in general.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing aikiframework and star you can also consider the following projects:

gaiman - Gaiman: Text based game engine and programming language
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
starlight - JS engine in Rust
xvm - Ecstasy and XVM
Yoakke - A collection of libraries for implementing compilers in .NET.
konna - A fast functional language based on two level type theory
aulang - simple and fast scripting language
smalltalk - GNU Smalltalk is an implementation of the Smalltalk language
bluebird - A work-in-progess programming language modeled after Ada and C++
Cwerg - The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.
skybison - A fork of Instagram's experimental performance oriented greenfield implementation of Python. It features small objects; a moving GC; hidden classes; bytecode inline caching; type-specialized bytecode; an experimental template JIT.
