Lean 4
Lean 4 programming language and theorem prover
Lean 4 is both a programming language and an interactive theorem prover, designed to support formal reasoning while also functioning as an efficient and extensible general-purpose language. The project serves researchers, mathematicians, programmers, and formal methods users who need a system for writing machine-checked proofs as well as executable programs in the same environment. One of its defining characteristics is its emphasis on extensibility, since Lean 4 is built to allow users to develop custom automation, metaprogramming tools, and domain-specific extensions instead of being limited to a fixed proving workflow. The broader Lean ecosystem also includes official tutorials, language references, examples, and installation and build tools, which reflects that the project is not just a core compiler repository but the center of a mature development platform. -

Luau
Fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language
It is designed to be backward compatible with Lua 5.1, as well as incorporating some features from future Lua releases, but also expands the feature set (most notably with type annotations). Luau is largely implemented from scratch, with the language runtime being a very heavily modified version of Lua 5.1 runtime, with a completely rewritten interpreter and other performance innovations. The runtime mostly preserves Lua 5.1 API, so existing bindings should be more or less compatible with a few caveats. Luau is used by Roblox game developers to write game code, as well as by Roblox engineers to implement large parts of the user-facing application code as well as portions of the editor (Roblox Studio) as plugins. Roblox chose to open-source Luau to foster collaboration within the Roblox community as well as to allow other companies and communities to benefit from the ongoing language and runtime innovation. As a consequence, Luau is now also used by games like Alan Wake 2 and Warframe. -

Solidity
The Smart Contract Programming Language
Solidity is a statically-typed curly-braces programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on Ethereum. Solidity 0.8.4 adds custom structured errors, allows more flexible configuration of the SMTChecker and fixes a bug in the Solidity ABI decoder v2. Read more about the bug here. With v0.8.4, errors can be defined inside and outside of contracts (including interfaces and libraries). This provides a convenient and gas-efficient way to explain to users why an operation failed. As a relatively young language, Solidity is advancing at a rapid speed. We aim for a regular (non-breaking) release every 2-3 weeks, with approximately two breaking releases per year. You can follow the implementation status of new features in the Solidity Github project. You can see the upcoming changes for the next breaking release by switching from the default branch (develop) to the breaking branch. -

YueScript
A Moonscript dialect compiles to Lua
A language that compiles to Lua. Yuescript is a Moonscript dialect. It is derived from Moonscript language 0.5.0 and continuously adopts new features to be more up-to-date. Moonscript is a language that compiles Lua. Since the original Moonscript has been used to write web framework lapis and run a few business websites like itch.io and streak.club with some large code bases. The original language is getting too hard to adopt new features for those that may break the stability of existing applications. So Yuescript is a new code base for pushing the language to go forward and being a playground to try introducing new language syntax or programming paradigms to make Moonscript language more expressive and productive. -
