    The Crystal Programming Language

  • I've gotten into Crystal. Crystal has Ruby-like syntax but also has a Strong Type System (which sometimes bites me), type unions, macros, generics, enums, light-weight concurrency, a robust build+dependency system, excellent support for C extensions (better than Ruby's FFI, imo), and a RSpec clone called Spectator. I enjoy the familiar syntax but get to play with powerful compiled/native language features.

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  • You might also want to look at Nim, Zig, and of course Rust, which I'm sure you've heard of or looked at by now.

  • 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.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • You might also want to look at Nim, Zig, and of course Rust, which I'm sure you've heard of or looked at by now.

  • 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).

  • You might also want to look at Nim, Zig, and of course Rust, which I'm sure you've heard of or looked at by now.

  • lmms

    Cross-platform music production software

  • Check out the LMMS project if you're looking for something interesting opensource to do --> https://github.com/LMMS/lmms it's opensource music producing software, beats, EDM, etc. You can work on your cpp skills and get some profile on your Github contributions as well.
