aplette
This is a new take on an old language: APL. The goal is to pare APL down to its elegant essence. This version of APL is oriented toward scripting within a Unix-style computing environment.

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.
Note that Julia has explicitly[1] taken much inspiration from APL to a further degree than NumPy does IMO.

I'm the opportunity to mention my project that implements a language that is inspired by, and is mostly compatible with APL. It has some major differences, such as being lazy evaluated and providing support for first-class functions.
It also supports defining syntax extensions which is used by the standard library to provide imperative syntax, which means you can mix traditional APL together with your familiar if/else statements, etc.
At this point there isn't much documentation, and the implementation isn't complete, so I'm not actually suggesting that people run out to try it unless they are really interested in APL. I just took this opportunity since APL is mentioned so rarely here.

There is an example of a graphical mandelbrot implementation in the demo directory, that may be interesting.
Some APL environments such as ngn/apl[0] allow tab completion like |o results in ⌽. This is probably available on tryapl.org too, but I can't test it when it's down :/

There is Aplette which supposedly integrates nicely with other Unix tools. It's a port/update of the earlier openAPL source code, which I think was done by Ken Thompson? Here:
https://github.com/gregfjohnson/aplette
A `rule` is a `token` with `:sigspace` also enabled (whitespace becomes the same as a call to `<.ws>`).
The only one of those that really looks anything like traditional regexes is the `value:sym` token. (Raku replaced non capturing grouping `(?:…)` with `[…]`, and character classes `[eE]` with `<[eE]>`)
This code was copied from https://github.com/moritz/json/blob/master/lib/JSON/Tiny/Gra... but some parts were simplified to be slightly easier to understand. Mainly I removed the Unicode handling capabilities.
It will generate a tree based structure when you use it.
