    Just an experimental gb emulator for the c3 language (by OdnetninI)

  3. 7DRL-2025

  4. zig

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

  5. docs.rs

    crates.io documentation generator

    TIOBE is an especially poor benchmark if the programming language community is not highly reliant on general-purpose search engines like Google.

    Take into consideration that most Rust programmers rely on https://docs.rs etc rather than Googling something.

  6. c2compiler

    the c2 programming language

  7. qbe-rs

    QBE IR in natural Rust data structures

    Indeed. There’s a port for macOS though.

    And yet out all these newer C-like languages, it looks like Hare probably takes the crown for simplify. Among other thing, Hare uses QBE [1] as a backend compiler, which is about 10% the complexity of LLVM.

  8. clay

    The Clay programming language (by jckarter)

    There was already a better evolution of C called clay. It had templates and ownership. It was C compatible and could be used as a substitute.

  9. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

  • I'm sorry honey, it's just not working out. Our relationship worked when we were younger, but we're both older now and we've grown apart. This issue is to fully eliminate LLVM, Clang, and LLD libraries from the Zig project.
