tailspin-v0
A programming language with extreme data-pattern matching and data-declarative syntax, hopefully different enough to be interesting (by tobega)

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.

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)

[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

August 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
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.

Diamonds in the Rough : An Honest Trial for any Language
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.

2018 Day 6 SQL+Tailspin Re-implemented using newer features
I have previously written about how I'm mostly using AoC problems to drive the development of the Tailspin programming language

An example of many of the listed features is this solution to an adventofcode problem for identifying allergens and ingredients of cryptic food labels.

AdventOfCode driving design of the Tailspin programming language
The latest mad rush of development activity has come from wanting to use relational algebra to solve some problems in a more elegant way. Day 21 turned out quite nicely.
