  • infer

    A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C

  • pfff

    Discontinued pfff is mainly an OCaml API to write static analysis, dynamic analysis, code visualizations, code navigations, or style-preserving source-to-source transformations such as refactorings on source code. (by semgrep)

    • I'm guessing this is a successor to pfff given that it's a static analysis tool written in OCaml at Facebook. I use and like semgrep already but more competition in this space is always good.

  • 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.

  • semgrep

    Lightweight static analysis for many languages. Find bug variants with patterns that look like source code.
