A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
Rebol [ http://www.rebol.com ] were still king.
It was simple to use, small executables, expressive, but no longer maintained :(
- Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
- Is there any high level programming language whose executable generated on one platform(OS) and runs on other platforms as well, if the machine/architecture is literally same.
- Lisp – Mecrisp Stellaris Unofficial 1.0 documentation
- The German School of Lisp (2011)

What is a lesser known programming language that you think could be better than Python for non-programmers doing general scripting?
In theory, something like Rebol is much better, but you have to accept that a big bonus in favor of python is it’s popularity, so much easier to find answers if you are stuck, etc

And that's still just REBOL/Core, not REBOL/View.

Wax compiler – a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages
This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax.

Marimo: Interactive Fluffy Ball
I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it!

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value.
"Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode."
It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by: Nortgard, Dead Cells, Papers Please, ... .

Is this idea worth pursuing? (a common grammar interface for various interpreted languages written in C)
Sounds like haxe: https://haxe.org/

TC39 Proposal: Types as Comments
I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier.

TIL: "private_constant"
Been tinkering in the Haxe programming language recently. I definitely suggest checking it out, but one thing I liked was private constants. I know other languages have this, but its where I've encountered it most recently.
What are some alternatives?

Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
