Squirrel is a light weight programming language featuring higher-order functions,classes/inheritance,delegation,tail recursion,generators,cooperative threads,exception handling, reference counting and garbage collection on demand. C-like syntax.

Fay is a compiler for a proper subset of Haskell that type-checks using GHC and compiles to JavaScript. It supports pure functional programming, a Fay-specific monad, FFI, optional tail-call optimization, and integration with Cabal packages. GHC-compatible type checking, ensuring correctness. Lazy, pure functional semantics with a distinct Fay monad. Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to integrate native JS code. Compatible with standard Haskell packaging tools like Cabal.

...Its architecture demonstrates advanced compiler design techniques such as staged compilation and snapshot-based bootstrapping. The project focuses on leveraging WebAssembly’s experimental capabilities, including reference types and tail calls, to test the limits of language portability and runtime performance. Though no longer actively maintained, Schism remains a valuable example of how high-level languages can be mapped to WebAssembly and offers insights into language implementation.

fun4j brings functional programming to the JVM. It's a framework that integrates major concepts from functional programming into the Java Platform. It also provides seamless integration of Java with Lisp coding, by using a lisp-to-bytecode compiler.
