  3. iree

    A retargetable MLIR-based machine learning compiler and runtime toolkit.

    Project mention: IREE | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-23
  4. RealtimeMeshComponent

    Unreal Engine 5 plugin component for rendering runtime generated content.

  5. bpftime

    Userspace eBPF runtime for Observability, Network, GPU & General Extensions Framework

    Project mention: Using eBPF to Trace Nginx Requests | dev.to | 2024-09-30

    Uprobes are a type of probe that can be used to trace functions in user-space applications, such as Nginx. They work by attaching to specific user-space function entry and exit points, allowing you to capture precise timing information. However, it’s important to note that using uprobes in the kernel mode eBPF runtime may cause some performance overhead. To mitigate this, you can consider using a user-mode eBPF runtime like bpftime, which is based on LLVM JIT/AOT. This runtime can run eBPF programs in user space, offering compatibility with kernel mode eBPF while potentially reducing overhead.

  6. RaftLib

    The RaftLib C++ library, streaming/dataflow concurrency via C++ iostream-like operators

  7. ONE

    On-device Neural Engine (by Samsung)

  8. lute

    A standalone Luau runtime for general-purpose programming (by luau-lang)

    Project mention: Lune: Standalone Luau Runtime | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-21

    It’s still early in its development, but the Luau team is building a first-party standalone runtime called [Lute](https://github.com/luau-lang/lute) that’s in C++ because the language’s implementation is also in C++. That might be more your speed?

  10. WARDuino

    📟 A dynamic WebAssembly VM for embedded systems

    Project mention: Wasm2Mpy: Compiling WASM to MicroPython so it can run in Raspberry | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-20

    What would be the recommendation to run on ESP32?

  11. skybison

    A fork of Instagram's experimental performance oriented greenfield implementation of Python. It features small objects; a moving GC; hidden classes; bytecode inline caching; type-specialized bytecode; an experimental template JIT. (by tekknolagi)

  12. libletlib

    C++ framework for the impatient.
