  • openrndr

    OPENRNDR. A Kotlin/JVM library for creative coding, real-time and interactive graphics

  • Kotlin is very similar to Swift. OpenRNDR is a coding framework written it it. Kotlin has many of the features you speak of. Kotlin supports many of the features you ask about (or at least something similar to it).

  • gloss

    Painless 2D vector graphics, animations and simulations. (by benl23x5)

  • Haskell is the purest of the pure, and a fun language. Never done graphics with it but I see Gloss looks decent - https://github.com/benl23x5/gloss.

  • 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.

  • OpenFrameworks

    openFrameworks is a community-developed cross platform toolkit for creative coding in C++.

  • How about https://openframeworks.cc/ in C++?
