Faust
Functional programming language for signal processing
Faust (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language for sound synthesis and audio processing with a strong focus on the design of synthesizers, musical instruments, audio effects, etc. Faust targets high-performance signal processing applications and audio plug-ins for a variety of platforms and standards. The core component of Faust is its compiler. It allows to "translate" any Faust digital signal processing (DSP) specification to a wide range of non-domain specific languages such as C++, C, LLVM bit code, WebAssembly, Rust, etc. In this regard, Faust can be seen as an alternative to C++ but is much simpler and more intuitive to learn. Thanks to a wrapping system called "architectures," codes generated by Faust can be easily compiled into a wide variety of objects ranging from audio plug-ins to standalone applications or smartphone and web apps, etc. -

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. -

Halide
A language for fast, portable data-parallel computation
Halide is a programming language for fast, portable data-parallel computation. It was designed to make writing high-performance image and array processing code much easier on modern machines. It works on all major operating systems and with several CPU architectures (X86, ARM, MIPS, Hexagon, PowerPC) and GPU Compute APIs (CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL, among others). It isn't a standalone programming language however; rather it is embedded in C++ which means that you write C++ code, building an in-memory representation of a Halide pipeline using Halide's C++ API. This representation can then be compiled to an object file, or a JIT-compile and run in the same process. Halide also comes with a Python binding, allowing the writing of Halide embedded in Python without C++. -

MarkovJunior
Probabilistic language based on pattern matching
The MarkovJunior project is a procedural generation engine that uses rule-based systems inspired by Markov processes to create complex structures and patterns. It allows users to define transformation rules that iteratively modify a grid or space, producing outputs such as textures, maps, and architectural layouts. The system is highly flexible, supporting both deterministic and probabilistic rule application to generate diverse results. It is particularly popular in game development and generative art, where procedural content can enhance variability and creativity. The project provides tools for defining rules, visualizing outputs, and experimenting with different configurations. Its design emphasizes simplicity while still enabling complex emergent behavior. Overall, MarkovJunior is a powerful framework for procedural generation using rule-based approaches. -

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. -

Pyro
Deep universal probabilistic programming with Python and PyTorch
Pyro is a flexible, universal probabilistic programming language (PPL) built on PyTorch. It allows for expressive deep probabilistic modeling, combining the best of modern deep learning and Bayesian modeling. Pyro is centered on four main principles: Universal, Scalable, Minimal and Flexible. Pyro is universal in that it can represent any computable probability distribution. It scales easily to large datasets with minimal overhead, and has a small yet powerful core of composable abstractions that make it both agile and maintainable. Lastly, Pyro gives you the flexibility of automation when you want it, and control when you need it. -

R Source
Read-only mirror of R source code
The wch/r-source repository is a read-only mirror of the official R language source code, maintained to reflect the upstream Subversion (SVN) R core development tree. This mirror provides public visibility into R’s internals—everything from the interpreter, base and recommended packages, documentation, and C/Fortran code under the hood. It is updated hourly to stay in sync with the upstream SVN. Although it mirrors the R source for browsing and reference, it is not the “canonical development repo* (i.e. you can’t submit pull requests via that mirror). The repository includes build instructions, the full directory structure (src, src/library, doc, etc.), licensing information (GPL-2.0), and documentation. Developers, package authors, and curious users often browse this mirror to inspect implementation details, debug issues, or see how base functions are implemented in C or Fortran. -

Red Programming Language
Red is a next-generation programming language
Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single 1MB file! During the work on the low-level parts of the new Red lexer, the need arised for intra-function factorization abilities to keep the lexer code as DRY as possible. Subroutines were introduced to solve that. They act as the GOSUB directive from Basic language. They are defined as a separate block of code inside a function's body and are called like regular functions (but without any arguments). So they are much lighter and faster than real function calls and require just one slot of stack space to store the return address. -

SpinalHDL
Scala based HDL
SpinalHDL is a hardware description (HDL) framework embedded in Scala, enabling hardware designers to build digital circuits with modern programming abstractions. Instead of writing in Verilog or VHDL directly, users describe hardware components and their interconnects using Scala code and Spinal’s domain-specific library, which then emits synthesizable hardware (e.g. as Verilog). Because SpinalHDL is embedded in Scala, it allows reuse of functional abstractions, parameterization, modular composition, and higher-level constructs to manage complexity. It supports building systems at various levels—single modules, pipelines, memories, controllers, etc.—while letting the designer control timing, pipelining, and resource sharing explicitly. The generated hardware can be synthesized for FPGAs or ASIC flows, making it practical for real designs. -

The Ballerina programming language
The Ballerina Programming Language
Ballerina is an open-source programming language for the cloud that makes it easier to use, combine, and create network services. Network primitives in the language make it simpler to write services and run them in the cloud. Structural types with support for openness are used both for static typing within a program and for describing service interfaces. Type-safe, declarative processing of JSON, XML, and tabular data with language-integrated queries. Explicit error handling, static types, and concurrency safety, combined with a familiar, readable syntax make programs reliable and maintainable. Easy and efficient concurrency with sequence diagrams and language-managed threads without the complexity of asynchronous functions. Programs have both a textual syntax and an equivalent graphical form based on sequence diagrams. -

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. -
13
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. -
14
Wasp
A programming language that understands what a web app is
Wasp (Web Application Specification Language) is a declarative DSL (domain-specific language) for developing, building and deploying modern full-stack web apps with less code. Concepts such as app, page, user, login, frontend, production, etc. are baked into the language, bringing a new level of expressiveness and allowing you to get more work done with fewer lines of code. While describing high-level features with Wasp, you still write the rest of your logic in your favorite technologies (currently React, NodeJS, Prisma). Wasp is in alpha and is therefore likely to change a lot, have bugs and miss important features. Due to its expressiveness, you can create and deploy a production-ready web app from scratch with very few lines of concise, consistent, declarative code. When you need more control than Wasp offers, you can write code in existing technologies such as js/html/css/... and combine it with Wasp code! -
15
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. -

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. -

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. -
