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. -

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. -

Unison
A friendly programming language from the future
Unison is an open source functional programming language based on a simple idea with big implications: code is content-addressed and immutable. Unison’s core idea is that code is immutable and identified by its content. This lets us reimagine many aspects of how a programming language works. We simplify codebase management, Unison has no builds, no dependency conflicts, and renaming things is trivial. The same core idea forms the basis for a runtime that robustly supports dynamic code deployment, allowing a single Unison program to describe entire elastic distributed systems. Though a lot of the work on Unison is still experimental and ongoing, we’re sharing an early alpha release of the language for you to test out. We’ll make a more finished release generally available soon. In the meantime, anyone is welcome to help with alpha testing. -

Yampa
Functional Reactive Programming domain-specific language
Yampa is a Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) library for Haskell, specifically designed for modeling hybrid systems that involve both continuous and discrete time behaviors, such as games, simulations, robotics, and reactive systems. Based on the concept of signal functions, Yampa offers a declarative way to model time-varying values and their transformations, making it easier to manage complex time-based logic without resorting to imperative state management. It is grounded in strong mathematical foundations and is well-suited for real-time and interactive systems where temporal behaviors are central. -

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. -

ArnoldC
Arnold Schwarzenegger based programming language
ArnoldC is a programming language built as a joke language, where the entire syntax is based on quotes from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Instead of conventional keywords and operators, it uses memorable movie lines to represent programming constructs like conditionals, loops, and functions. For example, “IT’S SHOWTIME” starts the main method, “TALK TO THE HAND” represents output, and “I’LL BE BACK” denotes a return statement. While humorous in nature, the language is fully functional and can be used to write real programs, showcasing how flexible compiler and interpreter design can be. The project is a playful experiment in esoteric programming languages, intended to entertain developers while also serving as an example of how language parsing and compilation can work with unconventional syntax. It demonstrates the overlap between pop culture and software development, turning famous lines into executable logic. -

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. -

Lux
The Lux Programming Language
Lux is a new programming language in the making. It's meant to be a functional, statically-typed Lisp that will run on several platforms, such as the Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript, Python, Lua, or Ruby interpreters. Lux is in the beta stage. The JVM compiler is pretty stable and the standard library has grown to a respectable size. Also, new experimental support for JavaScript, Python, Lua, and Ruby has been added. Read carefully before using this project, as the license disallows commercial use, and has other conditions which may be undesirable for some. The language is mostly inspired by the following 3 languages. Clojure (syntax, overall look & feel), Haskell (functional programming), and Standard ML (module system). They are implemented as plain-old data-structures whose expressions get eval'ed by the compiler and integrated into the type-checker. The main difference between Lux & Standard ML is that Standard ML separates interfaces/signatures and implementations/structures. -

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. -

OCaml
The core OCaml system: compilers, runtime system, base libraries
OCaml is a general-purpose, industrial-strength programming language with an emphasis on expressiveness and safety. OCaml’s powerful type system means more bugs are caught at compile-time, and large, complex codebases are easier to maintain. This makes it a good language for running critical code. At the same time, sophisticated inference makes the type system unobtrusive, creating a smooth developer experience. OCaml has two compilers. One is a bytecode compiler that generates small, portable executables and is very fast. The other is a native code compiler that produces more efficient machine code; its performance matches the highest standards of modern compilers. OCaml has great support for the most popular editors. VS Code is recommended for beginners, and for power users there is deep integration with Vim and Emacs. OCaml has a rich and dynamic community and best-in-class tooling. -

The Futhark Programming Language
A data-parallel functional programming language
Futhark is a small programming language designed to be compiled into efficient parallel code. It is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family, and comes with a heavily optimizing ahead-of-time compiler that presently generates either GPU code via CUDA and OpenCL, or multi-threaded CPU code. Futhark is not designed for graphics programming, but can instead use the compute power of the GPU to accelerate data-parallel array computations. The language supports regular nested data-parallelism, as well as a form of imperative-style in-place modification of arrays, while still preserving the purity of the language via the use of a uniqueness type system. While the Futhark language and compiler is an ongoing research project, it is quite usable for real programming and can compile nontrivial programs which then run on real machines at high speed. -

TypeSpec
Language for defining cloud service APIs and shapes
TypeSpec is a language for defining cloud service APIs and shapes. TypeSpec is a highly extensible language with primitives that can describe API shapes common among REST, OpenAPI, gRPC, and other protocols. TypeSpec is excellent for generating many different API description formats, client and service codes, documentation, and many other assets. All this while keeping your TypeSpec definition as a single source of truth. Using TypeSpec, you can create reusable patterns for all aspects of an API and package those reusable patterns into libraries. These patterns establish "guardrails" for API designers and make it easier to follow best practices than to deviate from them. TypeSpec also has a rich linter framework with the ability to flag anti-patterns as well as an emitter framework that lets you control the output to ensure it follows the patterns you want. -
