WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Project mention: Print(“lol”) doubled the speed of my Go function | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-23Most languages target C or LLVM, and C and LLVM have a fundamentally lossy compilation processes.

I found a cool project that uses a "Tower of IRs" that can restablish source to binary provenance, which, seems to me, to be on the right track:

I'd definitely like to see the compilation processes be more transparent and easy to work with.
