Products that do what Enophp – PHP library for the eno notation language does
The eno notation language[1] now also has an official PHP library: https://eno-lang.org/php/ It features the same API and featureset as the JavaScript / Python / Ruby libraries, and also comes with the same extensive testsuite that has been growing during implementation of the other libraries, with already well over 90% coverage at the time of release. Happy to hear your feedback and answer any questions! [1] A user-friendly format for file-based content: https://eno-lang.org/

eno [1] - A modern plaintext language w/ libraries [2] for JavaScript, Python, Ruby & soon more! We migrated a big relational research database to a file-based solution - requirements were: - Super fast and easy editability for users - Highest performance for parsing/validating >10K documents on every user change. Our trials with YAML/TOML showed us that we wanted something both faster [3][4] and easier [4], something tailored for file-based content management ... and after months of research & development it's now publicly available (under MIT license) for everyone! Last but…

Hey folks, I just wanted to share a quick script I threw together called notational ls. One of the big problems of any code base (or any filesystem) is that it's hard to tell what's what - folder and file names often trade brevity for clarity. So I thought about a version of `ls` that works like this: > nls web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code images Adding descriptions is really easy too: > nls images Images SHARED between both ios and web web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code…

I wrote my own lightweight markup language, similar to Markdown, that compiles to both HTML5 and LaTeX, supports LaTeX equations (through svgtex, i.e. serverside MathJax), references, captioned figures with semantically correct tag in html, syntax highlighted code blocks, and so on. http://www.dllu.net/programming/dllup/ See the text file written in dllup markup language: http://www.dllu.net/programming/dllup/index.dllu and the PDF and LaTeX versions: http://www.dllu.net/programming/dllup/index.pdf…

Hey everyone, Daniel here. I’m building an open source framework that makes it easy to code and deploy serverless applications – https://github.com/notation-dev/notation | https://notation.dev. I wanted a tool that delivers the benefits of serverless (scalable managed services), but with a first-class developer experience. Here are the main concepts: 1/ Notation provides a set of primary infrastructure resources (eg API gateway, lambda, event bridge etc) that can be composed together into serverless apps. They are fully typed, so slot into place very…

I had this crazy idea like some years ago.. I wasn't expecting it be factible, and there's still some semantic problems with this approach Anyways, the whole idea was to take some java source, generate an AST, and output it back as syntactically correct PHP. why? 50% fun + 50% exploration So I have this really basic compiler, which can roughly output its own code; what's still missing? - static vs instance detection (-> vs ::) - class' properties - method visibility - enums - inner types - annonymous classes - dealing with method overriding There's a huge gap in the semantic area (eg:…

Hello everyone! After two years of hard work, I'm excited to announce the release of my first book, "From PHP to Python". As developers, it can be frustrating to learn a new language from scratch. This is why I wrote this book to help PHP developers quickly learn Python by focusing on what's different and taking shortcuts when things are similar. It's written in a straight-to-the-point style and the chapters are concise and condensed. The book covers everything needed in my opinion to have solid foundations in Python, in a web-oriented approach. After finishing this book, you will be able to…

Hey HN, I built Onetone Framework as a full-stack PHP framework that pushes the boundaries of what PHP can do. It’s fast, modular, and surprisingly capable — combining backend routing, ORM, CLI tooling, and frontend build support into a single developer-friendly experience. Highlights: - PHP 8.2+ with autowired routing and ActiveRecord-style ORM - Built-in CLI, Docker setup, and .env support - Frontend build pipeline with Vite, esbuild - Growing test suite covering routing, query building, crypto, math, UUID, and more It’s still experimental, but I’m excited about how far it’s come. Would…

hi hn, today I'm open sourcing a new SQL-like query language that's built for the web. it has dedicated syntax for request, parsers, selectors, and javascript snippets... it was built on nodejs with the incredible moo lexer and nearley parser. if you're a fan of regular expressions, do I have some code to show you! the website is mostly just a few examples and a playground where you can write & run (& share!) your own queries. there's also an introductory blog post where i try but ultimately fail to justify why this should be its own language and not a library/framework. enjoy!

First, I'm by no mean a programmer. Second, I am reading HN for years, just registered to make this public and see if it can be useful for someone. I have nothing to gain monetary. A while ago, I decided that no blogging system was simple enough and I looked for a small wiki to use as a CMS/blog. Found WikWiki on C2.com and I mixed it with some basic Markdown syntax, a minimal template and added password protection. The result is a single php file, no database and no dependencies. Code is a mess, not modulable, probably wrong in so many ways, but it can probably used by some as personal…

It's very early days for the project, but I wanted to share it to see if there is interest. It is the final piece of the FastAPI server-side rendering stack I started building with FastHX and htmy (the two dependencies of this project besides FastAPI). Think of it as a more powerful and convenient alternative to tools like FastHTML, powered by FastAPI (without any modifications). I hope you'll like it.

What's your tool chain for data and document processing? - jq is great, but limited to JSON; and jQuery limited to HTML; templating systems get messy for non-trivial logic; TypeScript lacks pattern matching and schema support. So I built Lambda — an expressive functional language that combines the power of Lisp, TypeScript, and many DSLs like jq, jQuery, RelaxNG, etc. It has a lightweight 9 MB runtime, built from scratch in C/C++, that provides an end-to-end document processing pipeline (parse → validate/query/transform → layout → render/view). Internally, Lambda parse…

Shelon: https://github.com/housni/sheldon It's not a framework, it's a library. It attempts to mimic function names in Python. Most functions work in Bash 4.3+ but there are those that work on older versions. The 'help' target in Makefile is on crack! Check the issues in that repo for upcoming features. Useful for DevOps Engineers or anyone who has to write Bash scripts.

tl;dr: My first Ruby project: https://github.com/symkat/GFM-Service Something I have wanted for a long time, has been to use GitHub Flavored Markdown in projects. Since those projects haven't been Ruby, using the awesome libraries GitHub's released has been a non-started. Now, running this and using HTTP and JSON from any language lets me use GitHub Flavored Markdown in my projects.

Hi, Please check out my new library funcy. It's really simplified AWS Lambda APIs in my projects, so I thought I would open-source it. It strongly-types all request parameters, has support for CORS, content-negotiation, security headers, etc.. out of the box and works via a very simply declarative interface with progressive disclosure. It's currently pre-release, let me know what you think :)
