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.
There are alternative Emacs-like editors implemented in better languages like Common Lisp like Climacs which seem to be no longer maintained, there have been attempts at rewriting Emacs in Guile Scheme like Guile Emacs which have fizzled out, there are more recent attempts at implementing Emacs in Rust which isn't even a Lisp. I am really hoping Guile Emacs or Climacs see a resurrection, that or some other Lisp-based Emacs clone comes along that manages to supplant GNU Emacs. If more people would put efforts into projects like these, Emacs as a platform would be so much better than something like Electron.
