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

  • Have you considered Nim?

  • zig

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

  • I don't use it. I tried it once and it refused indentation with tabs. I don't let compilers order me around, so I uninstalled it (same reason I don't use Zig). The reason I suggested it is I've heard it has good metaprogramming features, and it strongly resembles Python. So, for a Python user, it might be a good way to get into static typing and native programming.

  • 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.

  • opendylan

    Open Dylan compiler and IDE

  • Carp, Lux and Dale are 3 I'm familiar with.There's also Dylan, though that one dropped its parentheses. But if we go by the brackets, technically, we can argue that any expression-based languages is a Lisp. I once wrote a Lisp to JS transpile whose output had more parens than the input. :)

  • Carp

    A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.
