The V Programming Language Simple, fast, safe, compiled
Yeah, I find the license on V UI to be a bit weird. Not understanding the logic behind it, as GPL is a definite way to cause massive headaches, drama, and confusion. GPL can give an unfriendly impression to those they probably could use help or support from.
It's still the early stages of the library and the language, so maybe it won't turn into some kind of mess. Still, not seeing why they didn't at least go LGPL, like many other projects have done who went. Seems like LGPL would have been the right balance to prevent sending mixed or "warning" signals.
There is also VIUP (https://github.com/kjlaw89/viup), which is a port of IUP. That's under the expected MIT license. So, it's not like more adventurous types can't go play with that.

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, ... .

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?
