    CIC Programming Language (by darilrt)

  • Hello, I'm creating a language called CIC that transpile to c++, it's self-hosted. If you want, you can play with them. https://github.com/darilrt/cic I am open to ideas, suggestions and comments.

  • cppfront

    A personal experimental C++ Syntax 2 -> Syntax 1 compiler

  • On one hand, I feel there are so many similar languages out there {(Val, Vala, Vale, Corroded Iron, Beef, Zig, Carbon, cppfront, Jai)...}, that we don't need yet another, but also I encourage further thought because it may be inspiration for future improvements to C++ itself. The number one faux pas I see them make is trying to directly compete with C++ (inventing their own type system, their standard library, their build system, own package format...), whereas your (by its very nature as a transpiler) embraces C++.

  • 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.
