  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • conjure

    Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)

  • I've been building support for various lisps in Neovim for the past few years https://github.com/Olical/conjure the plugin is written in a lisp that compiles to Lua too!

  • babashka

    Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting

  • There's babashka but I don't know how featureful it is compared to Clojure itself.

  • 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.

  • clog

    CLOG - The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI

  • You can find it here: https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog

  • ASP.NET Core

    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  • I've only used PHP a little bit, but it was very straight-forward, and apparently the more recent versions of PHP are supposed to be pretty good. Plus, it seems to be nearly ubiquitous. At work I use asp.net, and dotnet core is pretty nice to use.
