In plain words
Tsonic is a programming language available for Linux and macOS that compiles to native code. It includes examples and a Hugo clone implementation called Tsumo to demonstrate its capabilities. The language is designed for developers looking for a compiled programming solution with practical real-world applications.

Compile TypeScript into native C#, Rust and Mojo source projects.
Tsonic checks TypeScript, writes native source projects, and hands them to dotnet , Cargo or Mojo. Generated C# Copy JavaScript is required for the file browser. The same examples are documented in the target manuals. One checked TypeScript program becomes a native source project. The native toolchain performs the final build. export function add(left: number, right: number): number { return left + right; } 02 Generate source C# double add(double left, double right) Rust fn add(left: f64, right: f64) -> f64 Mojo def add(left: Float64, right: Float64) -> Float64 03 Build natively dotnet build out/csharp cargo build --manifest-path out/rust/Cargo.toml pixi run --manifest-path…from tsonic.org

ScrapScript – A tiny functional language for sharable software2023 · scrapscript.org · ▲503Hi friends, I started casually working on scrapscript in 2015. I built a few compilers over the years to test out various ideas/implementations, and I think I'm finally happy with the overall design. The code is not public yet. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in joining the core team later this year. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback :)
Ts-Chan – Go-Like Concurrency Primitives for TypeScript/JavaScript2023 · github.com · ▲60Hey HN, I’m sharing ts-chan, an NPM package providing Go-like concurrency primitives, including channels and select statements, for TypeScript and JavaScript, supporting Node.js, Deno, Bun, and browsers. This is something I've built to make implementing Go-style "control loops" feasible in JavaScript, but there are many possible applications. Highlights: - Features a FIFO processing Chan class and versatile Select class for concurrency control. - Supports buffered channel and channel close semantics very close to Go's. - TypeScript-first implementation. - Defines a simple "channel protocol"…

- ICI created a language called AntiLang – breaking all the conventions2025 · siruscodes.github.io · ▲143
AntiLang is an interpreted programming language written in Go. The basic idea of this is to keep all the logical parts of a language same, but reverse the structure of it. The idea for this project came when I was having a long midnight conversation with my friend and thought of writing such a weird language. The initial draft was far worse than the current implementation; we thought of reversing the brackets and the language would be read from bottom to top. I'm happy that I dropped that idea Technical details: As the interpreter is written in Golang, I compiled it to WASM, and the whole…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
