Wax compiler – a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages
> The goal of wax is to be a "common subset" of most major imperative programming languages. By lacking the unique fancy features in each of these languages and being as boring as possible, wax transpiles to all of them seamlessly
I love the concept. I was recently studying a very small language called "subscript", with a similar idea they called "common syntax".
> Subscript supports common syntax (shared by JavaScript,C, C++, Java, C#, PHP, Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, Perl etc.)

A programming language in Classical Chinese. Procedurally generated flowers, fish drawings, imaginary creatures, landscape paintings. In my mind, he's up there in the Olympian heights with Fabrice Bellard, Justine Tunney, etc., in terms of technical mastery and innovative thinking.

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/

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.
