    No gc, No goroutines, Produces small binaries while using the unmodified official go toolchain, and comes with complete Web SDK (generated from w3c/webref). We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https://primecitizens.github.io/livedemos/10-plat-web/

    Gsubpy, an interpreter for subset of Python, written in Go▲65

    Recently, I write an interpreter for subset of Python using Go. I haven't seen source code of CPython, all is just written according to my understanding of Python so there may be some unusual things. Hope you can play fun with it. Any suggestion is welcome, glad to get some feedback.

    Interactive Common Lisp: An Enhanced REPL▲101

    I created this because sometimes I want more than rlwrap but less than emacs. icl aims to hit that middle sweet spot. It's a terminal application with context-aware auto-complete, an interactive object inspector, auto-indentation, syntax colouring, persistent history, and much more. It uses sly to communicate with the child lisp process and aims to be compatible with any sly-supporting implementation. I hope others find it useful!
