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.
Doing one yourself is fun. MicroEmacs drifted around NNTP in the 80s, and I snagged a copy and began modifying it to taste. I've been using it ever since. The latest version was ported to D:

It's a very easy editor to understand and extend.
Actually, I've been working with getting grammars for binary data working in Raku. Development paused though when I had some trouble working with slangs.
I've gotten a bit better with them since then, but now I'm holding off for RakuAST, else I'd probably be rewriting a large amount of code for nothing (or have some major performance hits). You can see the proposal at https://gist.github.com/alabamenhu/2fec7a8f51a24091dc1b104a2... and a very early implementation at https://github.com/alabamenhu/BinexObjex
Definitely read over the proposal and comments, as my work with binary formats is a drop the bucket of ways to work with them, and I'm always interested in hearing how others would need/use such a feature.
