    Write expressive, high-performance parsers with ease.

  • I've started writing my own language by trying to add static typing to NanoRust, but that's obviously a ton of work.

  • hylo

    The Hylo programming language

  • This won’t help your actual goal, because this is a research language, but check out Val. The lang is based around Swift’s value semantics model, which has some great performance optimizations.

  • 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.

  • embedded-scripting-languages

    A list of embedded scripting languages

  • I'm not a huge fan of Lua but I think it is at least way more popular and better on every measure than TCL. There are plenty of other better less well-known options too: Rhai, Wren, AngelScript, Starlark (for some use cases), etc. There's a good list here.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
