An actor-based systems language that compiles to readable C. Native, no VM, no garbage collector.
The Hale programming language: general-purpose, native and memory-safe, from a five-line script to a dynamic distributed system. Less language, more compiler.
Jda: A high-performance systems language bootstrapped from assembly. Beats C on sudoku & LZ77. Self-hosted compiler, no GC, built-in concurrency & ML.
Ion is a systems programming language transpiled to human-readable C. It enforces memory safety via move-only ownership and stack-local references (no GC). Concurrency is handled through a channels-only model backed by OS threads and structural Send checking.
A modern AOT systems programming language with Python-like syntax, memory safety, no GC, LLVM backend, and first-class freestanding support.
A compiled language with Python's feel and C's output: no garbage collector, no borrow checker, one self-contained binary. Cross-compiles to Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android and WASM via C.
🦀🔭 See Rust's power in action. Real-time visuals of memory, speed, and zero-cost abstractions. No GC. No compromise. ⚡️✨
Moop Embedded Runtime - Quantum-ready substrate (40KB, no GC, 1M ops/sec)
Pluto is a compiled language that aims for the simplicity, readability and expressiveness of scripting languages with the safety and performance of C/C++, Go. A Go front‑end lowers .pt/.spt to LLVM IR and native binaries. Features include range‑driven auto‑vectorization, scope‑based memory (no nulls, no OOB, no GC), and concurrency by construction.
⚡ Nothing happens that the code didn't declare — capability-checked effects, ownership without lifetimes, three engines that agree byte for byte.
A dynamically typed programming language that doesn't use garbage collection.
Miva: Memory-safe, Verifiable, Predictable. A systems language that’s simpler than Rust, safer than Go, faster than Python. Building a safe, zero-cost systems language with explicit ownership and no GC. Compiles to C++.
Zore (pronounced zor): a natively compiled language with ownership-based memory safety and no garbage collector. Simple code, strong guarantees. Early development.
A native systems language with arena-based memory and no GC. Its linker is written in Skarn itself.
Fast, GC-free Rust monitor for the National Bank of Ukraine coin shop: spots new coins the moment they appear, clears the Bunny Shield proof-of-work in ~50 ms instead of the browser's 3.5 s, and reads your own orders
⚡ The Grasm website — a systems language where nothing happens that the code didn't declare. grasm-lang.github.io
Pre-alpha general-purpose language with Rust-style ownership and no GC, compiled to native binaries through generated Rust on Linux, macOS and Windows. 31 first-party libraries written in STARK itself, including an HTTP/1.1 and HTTPS client. Optional tensor/ONNX extension is a deferred research track.
