    The Little Programming Language

  • The last public commit on their GitHub repository was in 2016, so you're probably right, though it's possible there's still internal development. The commit history seems to imply that they have a separate, internal repository that they occasionally sync with the GitHub repo.

  • csl

    Embeddable language for C programs. (by lelanthran)

  • And now, I find this project which I'd nver heard of before even though I looked at C-compatible scripting languages before.

  • 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.

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

  • I have hope though. We're starting to see people write saner shells like Powershell (still pretty gross syntax but they fixed one huge issue with Unix shells - the fact that pipes are completely untyped) and Nushell which seems to be kind of like Powershell but with a much nicer syntax.

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  • You might want to check out zig.
