- 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.

- jsiiA modification of the TypeScript compiler that enables the creation of class libraries in TypeScript that can be used in C#, Go, Java, and Python projects by translating them into native modules for those languages that provide the same API.
- FableF# to JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Dart compiler
- PRQLa language for simplifying the creation of complex queries on data that compiles to SQL
- C3 (c3lang)A systems programming language based on C. It is an evolution of C, allowing the use of the same paradigms while preserving, as much as possible, the same syntax. Although the syntax differs somewhat from standard C.
- ReScript (c3lang)A statically typed functional programming language that can run in the browser or in a Node.js environment.
- PharoObject-oriented language, a dialect of Smalltalk
- BorgoA language written in Rust with similar syntax, but compiled to Go. This is an attempt to make the language less complex than Rust and more expressive than Go.
- ErlangThe language is primarily designed for creating scalable and fault-tolerant real-time services.
- jankA general-purpose language that is a Clojure dialect and runs on top of LLVM, with the possibility of integrating native C++ code.
- TinyGoA Go language compiler designed for use in small applications such as microcontrollers, WebAssembly (wasm/wasi), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.
- RyeA high-level dynamic programming language based on Rebol, with some additions from Factor, the Linux shell, and Golang.

- Open64 (compiler for C/C++)https://github.com/open64-compiler/open64
- 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.
