MicroPython
Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems
MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language that includes a small subset of the Python standard library and is optimised to run on microcontrollers and in constrained environments. The MicroPython pyboard is a compact electronic circuit board that runs MicroPython on the bare metal, giving you a low-level Python operating system that can be used to control all kinds of electronic projects. MicroPython is packed full of advanced features such as an interactive prompt, arbitrary precision integers, closures, list comprehension, generators, exception handling and more. Yet it is compact enough to fit and run within just 256k of code space and 16k of RAM. MicroPython aims to be as compatible with normal Python as possible to allow you to transfer code with ease from the desktop to a microcontroller or embedded system. -

Seed7
Interpreter and compiler for the Seed7 programming language.
Interpreter, compiler, libraries, documentation and examples for the Seed7 programming language. Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C/C++ and Java. In Seed7 new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used where it brings advantages and not in places where other solutions are more obvious. Seed7 spares no effort to support portable programming. Several driver libraries assure that the access to operating system resources such as files, directories, network, clock, keyboard, console and graphics are done in a portable way. Although Seed7 contains several concepts from other programming languages, it is generally not considered a direct descendant of any other programming language. -

Emojicode
World’s only programming language that’s bursting with emojis
Emojicode is an open-source, full-blown programming language consisting of emojis. As a multi-paradigm language, Emojicode features object orientation, optionals, generics, closures, and protocols. Emojicode compiles native machine code using lots of optimizations that make your code fast. Emojicode comes with a comprehensive set of default packages. And you can easily write your own. We believe that Emojis have expressive force. Let’s use that to make programming more fun and accessible. Emojicode is a straightforward language to learn, whatever background you have. Our documentation is known to be excellent and stuffed with walk-through guides and examples. Before you install Emojicode make sure you have a C++ compiler and linker installed. clang++ or g++ are fine, for instance. The Emojicode compiler can only link binaries if such a compiler is available. -

Gravity language
Gravity Programming Language
Gravity is a powerful, dynamically typed, lightweight, embeddable programming language written in C without any external dependencies (except for stdlib). It is a class-based concurrent scripting language with modern Swift-like syntax. Gravity supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, and data-driven programming. Thanks to special built-in methods, it can also be used as a prototype-based programming language. Gravity has been developed from scratch for the Creo project in order to offer an easy way to write portable code for the iOS and Android platforms. It is written in portable C code that can be compiled on any platform using a C99 compiler. The VM code is about 4K lines long, the multipass compiler code is about 7K lines and the shared code is about 3K lines long. The compiler and virtual machine combined add less than 200KB to the executable on a 64-bit system. -

Vercel Zero
The programming language for agents
Zero is an experimental programming language from Vercel Labs designed with AI agents as first-class users. The project explores what a language, tooling system, and standard library might look like if agents need to read, debug, repair, and ship code reliably. It focuses on a small and regular language surface, structured diagnostics, predictable tooling, and machine-readable outputs. Zero is still pre-1 and intentionally unstable, so its syntax and APIs are meant for exploration rather than production use. The project includes commands for checking, running, building, graph inspection, size reporting, diagnostics, and repair-oriented workflows. Its main goal is to create a systems-oriented language environment that agents can understand and act on without relying only on human-readable compiler messages. -
18
Wren
Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language
Think Smalltalk in a Lua-sized package with a dash of Erlang and wrapped up in a familiar, modern syntax. The VM implementation is under 4,000 semicolons. You can skim the whole thing in an afternoon. It's small, but not dense. It is readable and lovingly commented. A fast single-pass compiler to tight bytecode and a compact object representation help Wren compete with other dynamic languages. There are lots of scripting languages out there, but many have unusual or non-existent object models. Wren places classes front and center. Lightweight fibers are core to the execution model and let you organize your program into an army of communicating coroutines. Wren is intended for embedding in applications. It has no dependencies, a small standard library, and an easy-to-use C API. It compiles cleanly as C99, C++98 or anything later. -

Zen C
Write like a high-level language, run like C
Zen C is a minimal yet expressive implementation of the C programming language that aims to balance simplicity with practical capability, making it ideal for educational use, language experimentation, and small-scale systems programming. It provides a clean syntax and semantics that closely mirror classic C while enforcing stricter rules to eliminate common pitfalls like undefined behaviors or hidden conversions that often cause bugs. Zen-C includes a lightweight compiler front-end and runtime that can target multiple platforms, enabling users to compile and run code on both desktop and embedded environments without heavy tooling. Because it prioritizes clarity and predictability, the language makes it easier for learners to understand core systems concepts while still accessing low-level memory control and performance. -

zerolang
The programming language for agents
zerolang, also called Zero, is an experimental agent-first programming language from Vercel Labs. It explores what programming might look like when AI agents are treated as primary users from the start. The language aims to be small, regular, and easy for agents to learn from examples, diagnostics, and documentation. Its tooling is designed to expose structured facts for checking, running, formatting, debugging, repair, graph inspection, and size reporting. The project is pre-1 and intentionally unstable, so it is intended for isolated experimentation rather than production systems. zerolang is most useful as a research platform for developers interested in AI-native programming languages, agent-readable tooling, and repair-oriented development workflows. -

BMDFM
Binary Modular DataFlow Machine (BMDFM)
Binary Modular DataFlow Machine (BMDFM) is a software package that enables running an application in parallel on shared memory symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computers using the multiple processors to speed up the execution of single applications. BMDFM automatically identifies and exploits parallelism due to the static and mainly dynamic scheduling of the dataflow instruction sequences derived from the formerly sequential program. The BMDFM dynamic scheduling subsystem performs a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) emulation of a tagged-token dataflow machine to provide the transparent dataflow semantics for the applications. No directives for parallel execution are needed. More info: http://www.bmdfm.com https://bmdfm.github.io -
24
PARUS
Dataflow parallel programming language for clusters
PARUS is a data-flow parallel programming language that allows to build parallel programs for clusters and MPP multiprocessors. The data-flow graph is automatically converted to the C++/MPI source and linked with the libparus runtime library. Also there are available tools for benchmarking cluster interconnect and visualize it. -

Ficl is a lightweight, embeddable scripting language designed to be incorporated into other programs, and especially embedded systems that may have memory and OS constraints. Applications include scripting, hardware bring-up, rapid prototyping, and system extensions. Unlike Lua or Python, Ficl acts as a component of your system - you feed it stuff to do, it does the stuff, and comes back to you for more. You can export compiled code to Ficl, execute Ficl code from your compiled code, or interact. Your choice.
