  • 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.

  • 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)
