We're working on a Standard COBOL compiler called Otterkit, with the goal of helping the ecosystem by providing a free and open source compiler that conforms to the new COBOL 2023 standard.

The packages for each part of the compiler are available on NuGet, and the repo is available on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license.

Are there any [plans for] supply chain attack mitigations?

Naively searching, I find https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/4380#issuecomment-123641... (Proposed Principle: A package can be declared as "safe") and https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/2837 (Add capability-safety to polymorphic effects?) the latter closed with working on something related to this https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/3000 (The Road to Algebraic Effects).

I don't know that it's one-to-one in terms of features, but I've been impressed with the Flix language, also on the jvm: https://flix.dev/ .

You might be interested in Flix which has first-class Datalog program values:

I like it. Modern languages that distinguish between pure and impure programs like Flix, Koka, and Effekt do so on the type level instead of syntactically. This has three advantages:

I work almost 100% in Scala because it has the most advanced functional features (proper pattern matching, higher-kinded types, typeclasses, ...) and very powerful metaprogramming abilities, while being compatible with the Java OO model as long as you consume Java libraries (the other way around can be tricky, Kotlin is much better there). Only Flix takes it further but it's still an immature project.
