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

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

    Pony is an open-source, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language

  • The closest I've seen to Erlang with a good type system was Pony, but it never got anywhere and it's now abandoned, it seems.

  • gleam

    ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

  • There is gleam which is a statically typed language that runs on BEAM, but it’s not 1.0 yet. Elixir with type specs and pattern matching is pretty good but not perfect.

  • 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.
