Our great sponsors
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.

An Accessible Introduction to Type Theory and Implementing a Type Checker
Hm sounds interesting ... but I couldn't find the type checker here? https://github.com/jondgoodwin/cone/tree/master/src/c-compiler
-
AST Implementation in C
I would encourage you to look at other implementations as well. The Cone compiler is written in C: https://github.com/jondgoodwin/cone as well as my C3 compiler: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c

Simple compilers (LLVM backend) for studying

Looking for guidance on understanding/using LLVM C API
I recommend studying the Cone source code: https://github.com/jondgoodwin/cone and if you want to dig deeper, C3: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c if you show up in the C3 discord (https://discord.gg/qN76R87) or the LLVM discord I can answer any additional questions you might have.

A language with non-escaping stack allocations and regions
I thought it was, but there are new commits this month.

What does your ideal programming language look like?
Just read about gradual memory management (https://github.com/jondgoodwin/cone)
Multiple memory management options. Cone's "Do-It-Your-Way Memory Management" is a good example of what I'd want here, options are great to have.

A challenge: 52 languages in 52 weeks
Well, I only wrote a few dozen lines in each. (Those benchmarks I wrote are here, all in one file; scroll through to find them. Those two will be at the end.
-
'Switch' and 'Computed Goto'
Next I tried writing a custom C program just for the VM execute function; mostly this was a framework machine-generated from my interpreter, with the handlers necessary filled in manually.
This is my doswitch/u-based test program, a mini-interpreter executing a loop.
-
Is it possible to optimize this bytecode interpreter more?
Actually the next thing I did after trying svm.c was to port it to my systems language to see how my compiler managed with it. (Source is here.)

Where are the C Alternatives?
I have taken something away from Forth which is the (a--b) notation that describes the stack behaviour. I use it in these early docs of my IL here.
- Langception IV: I wrote BASIC in Charm, which I also wrote.
