Programming Languages Database

I recently spent a week to build this website that gathers most Programming Languages that exist. It is meant to be a place where you can find programming languages specific to your needs. One thing I'd like to add is the relative performance between all of those languages, to have a "Performance" or "Speed" filter. But benchmarks for so many languages is not easy to find. Please let me know what YOU would like to see on such a site. Thanks in advance!

Programming Languages Database launched on September 6, 2023 with 15 votes, #1,429 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Programming Languages Database is a website that catalogs most existing programming languages to help users find languages suited to their specific needs. Built over the course of a week, the site allows developers to search and compare different languages. The creator plans to add performance benchmarks and speed filters to enable more detailed comparisons, though gathering reliable benchmark data across all languages remains challenging. The site is open to user feedback on what additional features would be most valuable.

    I've been working on this small, slightly weird expression-oriented programming language for a little while now and feel ready to share it with others. I use it pretty often now in my day-to-day and work life, as a scratchpad for doing a bit of quick math or picking some pieces of data out of a JSON payload. Would really appreciate any feedback about the syntax, docs, features that are glaringly missing, etc. Before anybody mentions it: I know the performance is pretty lousy when dealing with a lot of data. If you can believe it, the runtime is about 100x faster than it used to be! Long term…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
