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

    The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications

  • P.D: Fox is old, before widespread internet, so its hard to appreciate it with a superficial glance. So, my dream is to build a spiritual successor of it.

  • typescript-runtime-type-benchmarks

    📊 Benchmark Comparison of Packages with Runtime Validation and TypeScript Support

  • It's actually fairly middle of the pack. You'd use Zod for the ergonomics, not the performance.

  • 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.

  • Wren

    The Wren Programming Language. Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language.

  • I'm still watching Wren, because in my eyes it is just Lua but with some modern additions and nicer syntax. All I need is a use-case...

  • 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).

  • I think you could like Nim https://nim-lang.org/

  • tl

    The compiler for Teal, a typed dialect of Lua

  • Once https://github.com/teal-language/tl/issues/491 gets addressed you can load teal files as normal lua files AND get them type checked.

  • 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.
