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.
Lean4 manages to pull off changing the parser on the fly at compile time. You can add new productions, add new syntax node types, and add new tokens. Then define macros or code to process the additional syntax. Here is a sample I found that adds a simple JSX-like syntax starting around line 93 and then uses it at line 169:
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/blob/master/tests/playgr...
I believe most of the language is defined this way, although it is pre-compiled.
