  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • pharo

    Pharo is a dynamic reflective pure object-oriented language supporting live programming inspired by Smalltalk.

  • Pharo Smalltalk is my current favorite.

  • Skript

    Skript is a Bukkit plugin which allows server admins to customize their server easily, but without the hassle of programming a plugin or asking/paying someone to program a plugin for them.

  • A lot of DSLs are designed towards "non-programmers." Have a look at [https://docs.skriptlang.org/] and how it somehow looks like YAML, with which the target demographic (Bukkit operators) should be familiar.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Pipefish

    Source code for the Pipefish programming language

  • Sure thing. Here's the repo. Basically I reinvented functional core/imperative shell and data-oriented programming and smooshed them together.
