This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ProgrammingLanguages

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • lark

    Discontinued A demand-driven compiler with strong IDE support (by lark-exploration)

    From the reverse-dependencies of the salsa crate, the (archived) Lark compiler used it and the Mun compiler uses it.

  • mun

    Source code for the Mun language and runtime.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • sorbet

    A fast, powerful type checker designed for Ruby

    Wanting some level of incrementality and laziness doesn't meant that you need a query-based compiler. Instead, you can have a separation into smaller passes with different levels of parallelism (e.g. Sorbet). Reasoning about each phase would still be similar to a batch compiler.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
