Time to raid Area 51

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ProgrammerHumor

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

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  • As others already pointed out Nim tries to do that, although I rather prefer Crystal (it's more similar to Ruby, though).

  • crystal

    The Crystal Programming Language

  • As others already pointed out Nim tries to do that, although I rather prefer Crystal (it's more similar to Ruby, though).

  • 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.

  • node

    Node.js JavaScript runtime ✨🐢🚀✨

  • Probably nodejs

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  • Numba

    NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM

  • NumPy

    The fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

  • Just have C/C++ programmers write python modules in C/C++. I mean, that's how numpy manages it.

  • b

    Brainfuck interpreter in a single line of Python

  • Do you know what the Brainfuck programming language is? As an extreme example, this is a oneline implementation of a Brainfuck interpreter: https://github.com/davekch/b

  • 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.

  • SDS

    Simple Dynamic Strings library for C

  • I mean, string.h exists. But yeah, this could certainly be a lot better. There's libraries out there but of course, without widespread adoption you're still going to run into a lot of shitty string handling.

  • nlvm

    LLVM-based compiler for the Nim language

  • Check out nlvm https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
