October 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread

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

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

    The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.

  • My compiler backend, Cwerg, is maturing nicely, especially the aarch64 code generator has come a long way.

  • lagoon

    Discontinued A dynamic, weakly-typed and minimal scripting language. 🏞 (by ryangjchandler)

  • I'll be working on Lagoon, my scripting language written in Rust. (GitHub)

  • 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.

  • kesh

    A simple little programming language that could one day compile to JavaScript.

  • Still no work on a compiler, but more work on the documentation of kesh.

  • xregexp

    Extended JavaScript regular expressions

  • + code literals for embedding other compiled languages, with built-in support for TypeScript/JavaScript (passthrough) and regular expressions (using XRegExp)

  • cish

    Go + Generics + Sum Types

  • I’m still working on SuperForth, a statically typed functional programming language. I’m currently working on reducing the memory footprint of the ast. Part of the reason it’s there is because the ast was designed before the virtual machine and compiler were implemented, so it’s kinda bloated at the moment

  • The-Spiral-Language

    Functional language with intensional polymorphism and first-class staging.

  • So the language work will be put on hiatus until the situation changes, and I'll use its repo as a blog as usual. It sure would be great if some company just sponsored this kind of work. I’ve tried applying, but haven’t gotten any interest. It would be ideal if somebody at these places read my PL sub reviews and sent me an offer.

  • xvm

    Ecstasy and XVM

  • Ecstasy: Only a few things hot at the moment:

  • 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.

  • Dictu

    Dictu is a high-level dynamically typed, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language.

  • Dictu: Been working on a variety of things, some bug fixes, some features, some stdlib contributions.

  • ShnooTalk

    ShnooTalk is a new programming language

  • I have been working on my programing language called ShnooTalk.

  • Morthy

    POC of concatenative language

  • Morthy. Current stage: fizzbuzz complete.
