Scala 3 is the latest major release of the Scala language—featuring a complete compiler rewrite (Dotty), new syntax with optional braces and given/using contextual abstractions, union/intersection types, opaque types, first-class enums, and better type inference. It unifies object-oriented and functional programming paradigms into a safer, more expressive language running on the JVM with full Java interoperability.

Flix is a statically typed programming language combining functional, imperative, and logic paradigms, with first‑class Datalog constraints and a polymorphic effect system. Designed to run on the JVM, Flix enforces purity tracking at compile time, supports algebraic data types, tail‑call elimination, and allows entire Datalog programs as values.

Vale is a systems programming language and compiler that strives to combine performance, safety, and ease in a way that avoids many of the complexities of traditional memory management techniques. It is ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled, targeting LLVM as a backend, and is statically typed. The language introduces a concept called generational references to provide memory safety without relying on a garbage collector, and aims for “safe without a borrow checker” (i.e. reducing the burden on the programmer). ...

ArnoldC is a programming language built as a joke language, where the entire syntax is based on quotes from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Instead of conventional keywords and operators, it uses memorable movie lines to represent programming constructs like conditionals, loops, and functions. For example, “IT’S SHOWTIME” starts the main method, “TALK TO THE HAND” represents output, and “I’LL BE BACK” denotes a return statement.
