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

    An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

  • I'm a part-time Rust developer on my Github project.

  • squirrel

    Official repository for the programming language Squirrel (by albertodemichelis)

  • The second one that comes to mind is Squirrel, which is a compiled language designed to be embedded into other programs. It’s similar to lua in concept, but closer to C in syntax. I never did a lot with it, but I did learn it.

  • 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.

  • winsafe

    Windows API and GUI in safe, idiomatic Rust.

  • At work I use mostly Java and JavaScript, although I write C and C++ for more than 20 years. My favorite for hobby projects now are C, Rust and Go.

  • GlovePIE

    The original creator stopped maintaining it and the original site went down. I have uploaded my copy so people can continue using it.

  • Nice. The language looks really nice! I started out with GlovePIE (site went down about 1-2 years ago) (image). It was more a hotkey scripting/assigning language, allowing multiple types of syntax (bash or c like). I used it to map my Wii Remote to the keyboard and initially played some games using the classic controller mapped to mouse and keyboard.

  • scalajs-react

    Facebook's React on Scala.JS

  • I don't have a lot of experience with it, but many seem to be very pleased with it. Interop with JS is good and you can use React and other common JS libraries, but there is also Scala.js specific frameworks like Laminar.

  • Laminar

    Simple, expressive, and safe UI library for Scala.js (by raquo)

  • 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.
