...Since its public release in 1995, Ruby has drawn devoted coders worldwide. In 2006, Ruby achieved mass acceptance. With active user groups formed in the world’s major cities and Ruby-related conferences filled to capacity. Ruby-Talk, the primary mailing list for discussion of the Ruby language, climbed to an average of 200 messages per day in 2006. It has dropped in recent years as the size of the community pushed discussion from one central list into many smaller groups.

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. ...

Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs. Crystal is statically type checked, so any type errors will be caught early by the compiler rather than fail on runtime. Moreover, and to keep the language clean, Crystal has built-in type inference, so most type annotations are unneeded. All types are non-nilable in Crystal, and nilable variables are represented as a union between the type and nil. ...

quine-relay is an esoteric programming project that produces a single program which, when run, outputs the same program in another programming language; and that next-language version, when run, outputs itself in yet another language—and so on—cycling through many languages until returning to the original. It is effectively a “relay” of quines across dozens (or hundreds) of languages. The repository contains implementations, translation scaffolding, and carefully crafted code for each...

A polyglot runtime that enables seamless execution of multiple programming languages within the same environment, improving interoperability between different codebases.

SuperCollider is a platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. It is free and open source software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. scsynth, a real-time audio server, forms the core of the platform. It features 400+ unit generators (“UGens”) for analysis, synthesis, and processing. Its granularity allows the fluid combination of many known and unknown audio techniques, moving between additive and...

CoffeeScript is a lightweight programming language that compiles into JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python, and Haskell to improve brevity and readability, while producing predictable and efficient JavaScript output. Its design emphasizes that “It’s just JavaScript,” meaning any JS library works seamlessly, and compiled output is clean and performant. Adds syntactic sugar like list comprehensions and destructuring assignment. Supports literate programming via .litcoffee or Markdown-embedded files.

...It has high expressive power but is implemented in less than 10K LOC of optimized, idiomatic C++11 for native run-time environments. MANOOL is meant to compare and compete directly with Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl, although incidentally it has some combination of unusual features. Example: {{extern "manool.org.18/std/0.2/all"} in WriteLine[Out; "Hello, world!"]} Explicitly stated design priorities of MANOOL: 1. implementation simplicity; 2. expressive power, usability, and general utility, attention to syntax and semantics details; 3. correctness, security, and overall quality of implementation, run-time reliability; 4. run-time performance and scalability; 5. consistency, completeness, orthogonality of features, and language elegance, conceptual economy and purity. ...
