awesome-programming-languages VS sligh

There are many cool and awesome languages out there...

https://github.com/ChessMax/awesome-programming-languages seems pretty good. I would love to have some kind of sorting and filtering options, but it is definitely very comprehensive and actively maintained.

There are hundreds of awesome programming languages out there. You are to choose what's more suitable for your goals and interests. Many languages are looking for contributors, testers and so on. Just give it a try.

Behold - the list of 303 languages - from old to new, from mainstream to super obscure. Last updated 4 days ago.

Another curated list of (mostly) opened sourced languages: https://github.com/ChessMax/awesome-programming-languages

Continue working on collecting awesome PLs. Want to say many thanks to all contributors. You are all cool. One of the contributors added 30 PLs to the list. It's incredible. Now the list contains 178 languages. And it's huge. The more will come later. Stay tuned! As always I'm open to any help/contributions (PRs or issue or even ideas).

I'm working on collection list of programming languages. Here is the link https://github.com/ChessMax/awesome-programming-languages. That may be helpful.

But, you still seem hung up on this, so here’s actual code: https://github.com/amw-zero/sligh/blob/main/lib/codegen.ml.

Of course. Here was the first incarnation: https://github.com/amw-zero/sligh. It has a decent overview of the idea in the readme. To sum it up here, the idea is: have a language built around model-driven development and model-based testing, where you write a simple model of an application, and the implementation and model-based tests are compiled for you. I wrote about the overall model-based testing strategy here. This idea comes from self-certifying compilers that produce proofs of their correctness such as Cogent, but we drop the formality requirement and use property-based testing to compare the implementation and model.

Honorable mention - I’m working on a language with similar goals: Sligh, and I’ve written about why I think it’s such a compelling idea before as well too.

In Sligh, I spent most of the last month introducing a new intermediate representation to make tier splitting (choosing if code should live on the client or server) easier. My goal was to enable derived data, as in a model that queries other models for its data and combines them by processing them in memory. I've been using the example of a personal finance application, so imagine:

The language that I work on is Sligh, and it's out of the bulleted list because it's nowhere near as mature as any of those that I listed, and I'm more of a verification enthusiast vs. expert. Almost all of the ideas in it are borrowed from somewhere else, but I think the one quasi-unique idea is it allows you to write a pure logical description / specification of an application, and it generates full-stack web application code from that.

I’m currently using Pest, though I wouldn’t exactly recommend my compiler as a ‘good example’ just yet because I’m prototyping and just churning code out.

Sligh

So tactically it’s currently a source-to-source compiler, where in the source language (my language) you denote the system state transitions, i.e. by writing create!, update!, etc, and those get compiled to corresponding client and server code in the target language (JS for now, but hoping to support WebAssembly in the future). Heres an example program. The compiler source is there too. I’m hacking it together right now, so it’s not my finest work :D
