  • MacRuby

    MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C runtime and garbage collector, the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Foundation and ICU frameworks.

  • The complexity of LLVM based projects makes it quite a bit harder for people to jump in and contribute. This was the original project that RubyMotion extended. It might be worth looking at its complexity to get a feel for what engineering was involved: https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby

  • 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.

    The Crystal Programming Language

  • Also platform wise CrystalLang is striving in the opposite direction: it started as a language focussed to run natively on servers or desktops. But since it's based on LLVM, people also want to have things like Android support and WebAssembly support.

  • android.cr

    Create Android applications using Crystal and the NDK
