Rhine – A typed Elixir-inspired language on LLVM

In plain words

Rhine is a typed programming language inspired by Elixir that compiles to LLVM. It functions as a C++ compiler middle-end, translating high-level code into optimized machine instructions. Designed for developers seeking static typing with Ruby-like syntax, Rhine targets those who want functional programming features combined with performance. The language is available as open-source software on GitHub, with development beginning in 2016.

  I wrote an open-source browser alternative for Computer Use for any LLM2024 · github.com · ▲180

  Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…

  A new programming language inspired by Go, no LLVM2025 · github.com · ▲82

  This is an introduction to the "Nature" project: https://nature-lang.org/docs/getting-started/meet-nature I am the author of the Nature language, and today I have released the 0.4.0-beta version. For detailed updates, please see https://nature-lang.org/docs/prologue/release-notes Now, Nature can easily interact with C language. It is anticipated that in about six months, Nature will release a version available to the community. By then, there will be stable syntax API, a complete standard library, and support for development tools. Moreover,…

  A small programming language where everything is pass-by-valueJan 2026 · github.com · ▲91

  This is a hobby project of mine that I started a few years ago to learn about programming language implementation. It was created 95% without AI, although a few recent commits include code from Gemini CLI. I started out following Crafting Interpreters, but gradually branched off that until I had almost nothing left in common. Tech stack: Rust, Cranelift (JIT compilation), LALRPOP (parser). Original title: "A small programming language where everything is a value" (edited based on comments)

  es6_maps, new Elixir syntax feature via runtime compiler hacking2024 · github.com · ▲71

  Hi HN! I thought you might enjoy this even if you don't know much about Elixir. `es6_maps` is a small library that introduces a "shorthand" map creation syntax, similar to shorthand object construction in JavaScript/TypeScript. For those unfamiliar with Elixir, the most interesting aspect might be how it achieves this. `es6_maps` takes advantage of BEAM (Erlang's VM) hot-reload capabilities to amend the Elixir compiler bytecode at runtime, adding functions that expand the shorthand syntax for further compilation. I think it's a nice showcase of the power you can wield (with care) when…
