ombined language, editor, and infrastructure to make it easy to build backends and CLIs.

Dark is a new way of building serverless backends. Just code your backend, with no infra, framework or deployment nightmares. Build APIs, CRUD apps, internal tools and bots - whatever your backend needs.

Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications.

Elixir runs on the Erlang VM, known for creating low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. These capabilities and Elixir tooling allow developers to be productive in several domains, such as web development, embedded software, machine learning, data pipelines, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries.

Haskell lends itself well to concurrent programming due to its explicit handling of effects. Its flagship compiler, GHC, comes with a high-performance parallel garbage collector and light-weight concurrency library containing a number of useful concurrency primitives and abstractions.

A practical functional library for JavaScript programmers.

There are already several excellent libraries with a functional flavor. Typically, they are meant to be general-purpose toolkits, suitable for working in multiple paradigms. Ramda has a more focused goal. We wanted a library designed specifically for a functional programming style, one that makes it easy to create functional pipelines, one that never mutates user data.

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.

Racket is a flexible, multi-paradigm language from the Lisp family, ideal for language-oriented programming. It supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented paradigms, and features a powerful macro system, robust modules, and extensive libraries. Racket is also widely used in education to teach programming concepts and language design.
