In plain words
Alan is a programming language designed for implicit parallelism, launched in 2020. It enables developers to write code that automatically distributes across multiple processors without requiring explicit parallel programming syntax. The language targets programmers seeking to simplify concurrent code development while leveraging modern multi-core systems. Alan distinguishes itself by handling parallelization transparently, reducing complexity typically associated with parallel programming.

From the sources
Alan includes a set of types representing GPU data and a set of GPU functions to work with these types reducing the barrier to entry for general purpose GPU compute. Alan is a statically-typed language founded on the Curry-Howard correspondence used in other solid type systems like Rust or Haskell, but inferred outside of function arguments so it doesn't get in your way. Alan has a syntax with a minimized number of concepts to be as regular as possible, but also allows most syntax to be extended by the developer such that it is explicitly declared in any file that usesfrom alan-lang.org

Bolt – A super-fast, statically-typed scripting language written in C2025 · github.com · ▲261I've built many interpreters over the years, and Bolt represents my attempt at building the scripting language I always wanted. This is the first public release, 0.1.0! I've felt like most embedded languages have been moving towards safety and typing over years, with things like Python type hints, the explosive popularity of typescript, and even typing in Luau, which powers one of the largest scripted evironments in the world. Bolt attempts to harness this directly in the lagnauge rather than as a preprocessing step, and reap benefits in terms of both safety and performance. I intend to be…

Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED2025 · github.com · ▲243Hi There, Erlang-RED has been my project for the last couple of months and I would love to get some feedback from the HN community. The idea is to take advantage of Erlangs message passing and low overhead processes to have true concurrency in Node-RED flows. Plus also to bring low-code visual flow-based programming to Erlang.
