MoonScript
A language that compiles to Lua
MoonScript is a dynamic scripting language that compiles into Lua. It gives you the power of one of the fastest scripting languages combined with a rich set of features. MoonScript can either be compiled into Lua and run at a later time, or it can be dynamically compiled and run using the moonloader. It’s as simple as requiring "moonscript" in order to have Lua understand how to load and run any MoonScript file. Because it compiles right into Lua code, it is completely compatible with alternative Lua implementations like LuaJIT, and it is also compatible with all existing Lua code and libraries. The command line tools also let you run MoonScript directly from the command line, like any first-class scripting language. -

Pkl
A configuration as code language with rich validation and tooling
pkl is a purpose-built configuration-as-code language developed by Apple that combines declarative structure, validation, and tooling to improve over traditional configuration formats like JSON, YAML, or Plists. Its goal is to let you write configuration logic (modules, imports, conditions, defaults) while still producing static outputs suitable for tools that expect JSON, YAML, or other formats. Configurations in Pkl are type-safe and support validation constraints (e.g. bounds, relations) so many errors can be caught before deployment. The language is embeddable, meaning it can run inside applications (Java, Swift, Go, etc.) to load configuration dynamically with the same safety guarantees. There’s also code generation support: writing Pkl modules can generate matching classes or data structures in target languages (Swift, Go, Java, Kotlin) so runtime config and statically typed code stay in sync. -

Starlark in Go
Starlark in Go: the Starlark configuration language, implemented in Go
starlark-go is the official Go implementation of the Starlark programming language, a Python-like, dynamically typed configuration and scripting language originally developed for the Bazel build system. Starlark combines Python’s expressiveness and readability with deterministic execution, making it ideal for defining build configurations, scripting automation, and embedding domain-specific logic in applications. The Go-based interpreter allows developers to run or embed Starlark programs directly within Go applications, extending them with user-defined scripts and configurable logic. Unlike Python, Starlark supports parallel execution across multiple threads and maintains deterministic behavior, making it suitable for scalable and reproducible workloads. It offers familiar syntax features such as dictionaries, lists, and first-class functions with lexical scoping. -

stylus
Expressive, robust, feature-rich CSS language built for nodejs
Stylus is a revolutionary new language, providing an efficient, dynamic, and expressive way to generate CSS. Supporting both an indented syntax and regular CSS style. Installing Stylus is very easy once you have Node.js. So get the binaries for your platform and make sure that they also include npm, Node’s package manager. Stylus features powerful in-language function definitions. Function definitions appear identical to mixins; however, functions may return a value. Optional arguments may default to a given expression. With Stylus we may even default arguments to earlier arguments! Stylus is an innovative stylesheet language that compiles down to CSS. Inspired by SASS, Stylus is built with node.js and capable of running in the browser. Stylus is “pythonic” (i.e. indentation-based). Whitespace is significant, so we substitute { and } with an indent, and an outdent. Stylus, just like CSS, allows you to define properties for several selectors at once through comma separation. -

Inform
The core software distribution for the Inform 7 programming language
Inform is the core distribution of a powerful programming language and design system created for writing interactive fiction, where authors describe stories as text adventure games that players explore through typed commands. The language is distinctive for its natural-language-inspired syntax that reads almost like English, allowing storytellers to define rooms, objects, characters, and narrative logic in an intuitive way that emphasizes expressive clarity and literary structure. When you write in Inform, the source code is compiled into playable story files that run on interactive fiction virtual machines such as Z-machine or Glulx, enabling classic text-based gameplay with modern tooling. Inform handles the underlying complexities of text parsing, world modeling, state management, and player input, so authors can focus on narrative design rather than low-level engine details. -

Mint
A refreshing programming language for the front-end web
Mint has all the tools you need to write error-free, easily readable, and maintainable applications in record time. In Mint you can style elements directly with CSS using style blocks. Inside a style block, you can nest as many sub selectors and media queries as you like. Interpolate any Mint expressions in any value using the interpolation syntax. You can even use if and case expressions inside any block to apply styles conditionally. In Mint a store contains and manages some data. Stores are globally accessible and can be connected to components. When the data in a store changes the connected components are re-rendered. In Mint routing is a language feature instead of a library. Routes can be defined in a routes block, with support for typed path parameters. The runtime handles clicks on anchor tags and navigates in a smart way so you don't have to. You can inline any JavaScript code easily by using bacticks. -

Skylark
Skylark in Go: the Skylark configuration language
Skylark, now known as Starlark, is an interpreter for a Python-like language implemented in Go. It is designed as a lightweight, deterministic, and embeddable configuration and scripting language ideal for use within larger applications. Skylark maintains Python’s familiar syntax and high-level data types while omitting features that could cause nondeterminism, such as concurrency and dynamic module imports. The interpreter supports first-class functions, dictionaries, lists, and comprehensions, allowing developers to define reusable logic and structured configuration data. Originally developed for Bazel, Google’s build tool, Skylark enables users to define build rules and macros that extend system functionality. Because it runs deterministically and isolates execution from system state, it’s well-suited for reproducible build systems and other sandboxed environments. The Go implementation focuses on parallel scalability and easy integration into Go-based projects. -

Tidal
Pattern language
Tidal Cycles (or just Tidal for short) is software for making patterns with code, whether live coding music at algoraves or composing in the studio. It includes a simple and flexible notation for rhythmic sequences and an extensive library of patterning functions for combining and transforming them. This allows you to quickly create complex patterns from simple ingredients. By default, sound is made with the featureful SuperDirt synth/sampler, but you can control other synths using Open Sound Control (OSC) or MIDI. Whether you're using SuperDirt or a synth, every filter and effect can be manipulated independently with Tidal patterns. Tidal is embedded in the Haskell language, although you don't have to learn Haskell to learn Tidal. You can learn Tidal through experimentation and play, most Tidal coders have little or no experience in software engineering. -

Autocxx
Tool for safe ergonomic Rust/C++ interop driven from existing C++
autocxx is an open source Rust tool and procedural macro designed to enable automatic, safe interoperability between C++ and Rust. It integrates the functionality of bindgen (for parsing and generating Rust bindings from C++ headers) with cxx (for safe and idiomatic Rust–C++ communication), automating the creation of bridges between the two languages. With autocxx, developers can include C++ headers directly in Rust source code and automatically generate bindings for the corresponding C++ classes, functions, and types. This approach greatly simplifies working with existing C++ libraries in Rust while maintaining safety and memory correctness. By reducing the amount of boilerplate and manual configuration typically needed for FFI (Foreign Function Interface) bindings, autocxx allows developers to focus on higher-level logic rather than low-level integration details. -

Chez Scheme
A programming language and an implementation of that language
Chez Scheme is both a programming language and an implementation of that language, with supporting tools and documentation. As a superset of the language described in the Revised6 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (R6RS), Chez Scheme supports all standard features of Scheme, including first-class procedures, proper treatment of tail calls, continuations, user-defined records, libraries, exceptions, and hygienic macro expansion. The Chez Scheme implementation consists of a compiler, run-time system, and programming environment. Although an interpreter is available, all code is compiled by default. Source code is compiled on-the-fly when loaded from a source file or entered via the shell. A source file can also be precompiled into a stored binary form and automatically recompiled when its dependencies change. Whether compiling on the fly or precompiling, the compiler produces optimized machine code, with some optimization across separately compiled library boundaries. -

Prompt Declaration Language
Prompt Declaration Language is a declarative prompt programming lang
LLMs will continue to change the way we build software systems. They are not only useful as coding assistants, providing snipets of code, explanations, and code transformations, but they can also help replace components that could only previously be achieved with rule-based systems. Whether LLMs are used as coding assistants or software components, reliability remains an important concern. LLMs have a textual interface and the structure of useful prompts is not captured formally. Programming frameworks do not enforce or validate such structures since they are not specified in a machine-consumable way. The purpose of the Prompt Declaration Language (PDL) is to allow developers to specify the structure of prompts and to enforce it, while providing a unified programming framework for composing LLMs with rule-based systems. -
