• RacketA general-purpose, cross-platform language for a wide variety of tasks—web applications, systems programming, network applications, and graphical applications. It’s more similar to functional languages, but as stated on the Racket website, it’s a “Language-Oriented Programming Language.”

• HaareA systems programming language similar to C, but simpler than C.

  The language utilizes manual memory management and static typing. It is optimized for low-level tasks (development of operating systems, compilers, network applications, and system utilities that require maximum performance and full execution control). A minimal runtime environment is attached for application execution, and a standard library of functions is distributed for development. This library provides access to the operating system’s core interfaces and offers functions for working with common algorithms, protocols, and formats.

• Cosmopolitanhttps://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

  A library that allows you to compile a C program once and run it anywhere, like Java, except it doesn’t require an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures standard GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and BIOS with maximum performance and minimal footprint.

• Fil-CA memory-safe compiler for C and C++. Compatibility with other C and C++ compilers is incomplete.
