  • jank

    A Clojure dialect hosted on LLVM with native C++ interop

  • I wonder if Jank [1] could be such a Lisp? I haven't played around with it, but I really like the idea and would love to see it get more traction.

  • srlua

    Discontinued A tool for building self-running Lua programs.

  • 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.

  • bencode

    A Janet library for the Bencode format (by cmiles74)

  • zic

    Zip files In Concert

  • I will be most interested when this gets easier, in particular if it works with sqlite and the unzip libraries. Those libraries are the major snags. I could not get it running on windows (the repo in question[1]).

  • advent-of-code

    exploring problems from Advent of Code (by jimmahoney)

  • I used janet for Advent of Code 2021 too. My first exploration of the language. Small world. I found janet fun but quirky. My work is at https://github.com/jimmahoney/advent-of-code/tree/master/202... .

  • sqlite-jdbc

    SQLite JDBC Driver

  • Sadly, another baseless assumption. I just downloaded sqlite java driver from https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/. And compiled their sample program on the home page to native code. (all within ~1min after reading your response)

        javac Sample.java && native-image -cp .:sqlite-jdbc-3.41.2.1.jar Sample
