  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • sbcl

    Mirror of Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)'s official repository

  • About 15% of which are two files https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/blob/master/src/code/external-formats/enc-jpn-tbl.lisp https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/blob/master/src/code/external-formats/enc-cn-tbl.lisp

  • maiko

    Medley Interlisp virtual machine

  • https://github.com/Interlisp/maiko has ~72K lines of C (src, inc, bin/make*) which corresponds to microcode and BCPL on Dorado.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • medley

    The main repo for the Medley Interlisp project. Wiki, Issues are here. Other repositories include maiko (the VM implementation) and Interlisp.github.io (web site sources) (by Interlisp)

  • Measuring Lisp code in https://github.com/Interlisp/medley is harder -- wrong eol for wc

  • cloc

    cloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.

  • You might want to try cloc and/or its --force-lang switch.

  • Co-dfns

    High-performance, Reliable, and Parallel APL

  • There's a guy who wrote a dyalog compiler for GPU stuff so you can just run your APL stuff on the GPU. He wrote the thing in dyalog, and the compiler is "just" a few files, no more than a page each.

  • BQN

    An APL-like programming language. Self-hosted!

  • The BQN compiler is also self-implemented, in a similar style.
