  • TablaM

    The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications

    For example, in mine (https://tablam.org) I wanna provide a better way to operate on data that looks relational ("tables, columns, rows") so the syntax and features aim to unify everything as if it were a query (so you can query equally numbers, files, CSV, databases, etc).

    The Crystal Programming Language

    Especially if they start with the syntax. If you're going to start by talking about syntax, it better be the most unique and amazing syntax I've ever seen. For example, if the first thing about the language on its site is that the syntax is pretty much the same as some other language, I assume it has nothing interesting, because if it did it would be mentioned before the fact that the syntax is uninteresting.

  • 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.
