  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • BQN

    An APL-like programming language. Self-hosted!

  • While lacking things like purity and ADTs, is there anything that APL (or BQN) can do that Haskell simply can't or would be much harder to do in? Because using unicode glyphs rather than ascii characters to produce terser source code, although cool, doesn't seem to be enough of a selling point to justify learning the language without any other advantages if you're already learning something like Haskell.

  • TablaM

    The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications

  • I'm building a language that is more on the relational side but has some ideas from array languages, and that(both things) change almost everything.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • type-system-j

    adds an optional type system to J language

  • A user typing system for J that is used for type coercion, and potentially increased polymorphism, rather than just harassing programmer with errors: https://github.com/Pascal-J/type-system-j
