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.
For 'hobbists' there are lots of amazing Forths, some examples: Zeptoforth has proper threading primitives, optional FAT SD card support and is MIT licensed (important for semi-commercial binary builds), Mecrisp Forth has a native register-colouring compiler is 20K and supports ARM, RISCV, FPGA and others, Flashforth support AVR and PIC. If you like ESP32, then ESP32Forth (an eForth variant) has a ton of features worth looking at. The interactivity is amazing. Of course on PCs or embedded Linux we can do this with shells and scripting languages with REPL - but with deeply embedded microcontroller the only other thing I've seen that's close is http://www.ulisp.com/ - and although it's amazing to get Lisp this small and the developer has done cool things, mostly it's still a toy project that relies on recompiling and adding to C to do any real work. No where near the maturity of the above Forth systems.
