Carbon - an experimental C++ successor language

• carbon-lang

  174 32,151 9.8 C++

  Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)

  

No, by using a language that's significantly more amenable to modern tooling (e.g. not a pain in the arse to parse) and has learnt from the mistakes of its predecessors. Read through the language design overview to get a better idea of what it does.

• Odin

  84 5,598 9.9 Odin

  Odin Programming Language

  

There are some Go alternative languages such as Vlang and Odin. So there are options to transition to and/or contribute as a developer on.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  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.

  

• Rustler

  35 4,152 8.6 Rust

  Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions

  

I love Erlang, but its strengths are concurrency and fault tolerance, not high performance compute. Unless you pair it with Rust of course ;)

• autocxx

  17 2,037 7.7 Rust

  Tool for safe ergonomic Rust/C++ interop driven from existing C++ headers

  

Again, not really...? A lot of the proposed ABI changes (for C++ - I don't know what they're planning for Carbon) are trivial to automatically fix if you have source access. If you don't have source access, you "only" need to maintain the ABI at the boundaries between foreign code and your code, which is quite possible (especially after the success of autocxx and related projects in the Rust <-> C++ world)

• zig

  812 30,295 10.0 Zig

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

  

• Killed by Google

  2,301 2,340 6.9 TypeScript

  Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

Obligatory https://killedbygoogle.com/

• Beef

  26 2,358 9.4 C++

  Beef Programming Language (by beefytech)

  

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• vala-www

  34 47 7.4 SCSS

  Website of the Vala programming language

  

I know it's not quite what you're asking for, but check out Vala, which is effectively writing C in C# https://vala.dev/

• go-is-not-good

  10 3,799 0.0 Go

  A curated list of articles complaining that go (golang) isn't good enough

https://github.com/ksimka/go-is-not-good an entire repo dedicated to articles on the topic

• Vale

  64 1,660 6.8 Scala

  Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/ (by ValeLang)

  

Also check out Vale, https://vale.dev/. It's another serious PL experimenting with new ideas

• Tango-D2

  1 90 3.1 D

  A port of the Tango library to D2

The standard library split was about API design, not GC. D1 Phobos (the official standard library) had a C standard library style API, and Tango was more like Java. And because Tango was a class-based API, it used GC more heavily than Phobos did. The split was resolved in 2007 as D2 was under development, when the common runtime was split out from the standard library. A D2-compatible version of Tango is usable today, though most D programmers these days Phobos.

• jakt

  31 2,744 9.4 C++

  The Jakt Programming Language

  

• Cap'n Proto

  66 11,163 9.3 C++

  Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library

  

Worth noting that the long-time maintainer of Protobuf eventually left Google and made Cap'n Proto. It doesn't get as much development time but you have much closer communication with the developer.

• v

  219 35,248 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

  

Vlang, a Go alternative language, has had: generics, map, filter, and more for quite a long time (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md).

• v-mode

  89 57 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  🌻 An Emacs major mode for the V programming language.

There are some Go alternative languages such as Vlang and Odin. So there are options to transition to and/or contribute as a developer on.
