A tasty language for building efficient software. WIP (by neverRare)
tailspin-v0
A programming language with extreme data-pattern matching and data-declarative syntax, hopefully different enough to be interesting (by tobega)

August 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Butter has continued in development. Currently working on pretty printer so that I could test out typed ast before working on next stage: mid-level IR and lifetime analysis. It was in hiatus when I was in busy uni stuffs. But now I think I have more time now.

June 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Hello! I've been working on Butter programming language and it's starting to get shape. Butter is heavily influenced by Rust and I want it to be concise and high-level as much as possible.

Advent of Code 2023 in your language
I eventually tend to do all days in Tailspin. The ones I have done so far are in directories ending in "tt" (the others are in Pyret, just to get a feel for it) https://github.com/tobega/aoc2023/tree/main

I have great difficulties
As a general tip, it is often helpful to first try to think of how you would like to represent the data in your program. Then you need to parse the data into that structure. I'd recommend you to look at a PEG-parser, for example. Or if you like, look at my Tailspin programming language which has a very visual parser syntax and also very visual ways of creating data structures (if that should happen to be your mental affinity). Look at my day1 for example. Or if you're more mathematical, maybe a functional language (I also did day1 in Pyret)

An idea for a language focused around RxJs
My Tailspin language is based on processing streams of values, you might want to look at it https://github.com/tobega/tailspin-v0

[2022 Day 7] Solved in three different styles
Many people had trouble with the day 7 problem. Paradoxically, good developers probably had more trouble. Here some of the difficulties are explained and implementations are provided in imperative, functional and OO styles, written in the Tailspin programming language.

What codebases have the best or most educational unit/integration tests when implementing a programming language?
I test almost entirely from my language, that way the tests are independent of the implementation. Currently the tests are implemented in java because that fits the interpreter implementation https://github.com/tobega/tailspin-v0/tree/master/test/tailspin/samples

Finished off the implementation of typed and offset array indices in Tailspin

March 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I ended up enabling left recursion in Tailspin's composer (parser) syntax. Much cleaner calculator example now.

I think it's possible that Tailspin might be suitable for you.

Introducing Skiff, a gradually typed functional language written in Rust
I think gradual typing is definitely something worth exploring more. I thought it was a shame when Dart abandoned that path. Have you seen Shen ? I guess my small offering, Tailspin, is currently evolving to gradual typing as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing butter and tailspin-v0 you can also consider the following projects:
boba - A general purpose statically-typed concatenative programming language.
Argon - Argon programming language
Pipefish - Source code for the Pipefish programming language
never - Never: statically typed, embeddable functional programming language.
Charm-MacOS - MacOS executable for Charm
bluebird - A work-in-progess programming language modeled after Ada and C++
ShnooTalk - ShnooTalk is a new programming language
tokay - Tokay is a programming language designed for ad-hoc parsing, inspired by awk.
Odin - Odin Programming Language
xvm - Ecstasy and XVM
frozen - a header-only, constexpr alternative to gperf for C++14 users
