A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh

• v

  219 35,296 9.9 V

  Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io

  

This was my impression too and it looks like they've made really impressive progress since I last saw them on HN. Their bug list [0] looks kind of scary, but that's maybe par for the course for a language? I remember the bad old days of Go's 32-bit GC not being wonderful for example.

  Cotowali installer and version manager

  

Felt the same. Most complete example seems to be the installer for the language which is written in it. This covers some of the things you mentioned

https://github.com/cotowali/konryu/blob/main/konryu.li

and the generated shell script

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cotowali/konryu/dist/konry...

There is also the website, heavily under construction, because has some more documentation on the language than the readme

  🌻 An Emacs major mode for the V programming language.

I'm surprised to see that the compiler is written in V (https://vlang.io/). Last I heard, V was vaporware, and a lot of its claims about performance etc. ended up being "todo" items rather than facts about the language as it actually existed. But that was several years ago; has anything changed?

Otherwise, fun project! I could see this actually being useful in some niche cases, e.g. generating scripts that need to work on some exotic architecture that has a POSIX Sh implementation.

• z

  1 12 1.8 Go

  Simple task runner (by zakuro9715)

looks like the task runner part [1] has unfortunate name overlap with the family of programs that include z.lua[2] or zoxide [3] or z.sh [4].

Not really that big of a deal, I just like tracking command line apps naming because it is an interesting exercise of being short, intuitive, and unique. When you decide a single letter is your name, surely you are going to run into this.

You might find Cue interesting: https://cuelang.org/

It's a bit overambitious IMO, but it tries taking a relatively different approach to the problem that I find to be quite interesting.
