libHX is a C library (with some additional C++ bindings available) that provides data structures and functions for tasks common in scripting languages; autoresizing string manipulation, maps, deques, option parsing, type-checking casts and more. libHX aids in quickly writing up C/C++ data processing programs, by consolidating tasks that often happen to be open-coded, such as config file reading, option parsing, directory traversal, and others, into a library. The focus is on reducing the amount of time (and secondarily, the amount of code) a developer has to spend for otherwise implementing such. Subsequently, proficient coders can use this to code as fast as for a scripting language.

The AUX compiler supports several languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran and Objective-C. Since Ada support must be built by an Ada-capable compiler, only platforms for which a bootstrap compiler is available can build it. The AUX compiler is based on release versions of the Free Software Foundation's GNU Compiler Collection. It uses the GCC Runtime Library Exception, so the resulting binaries have no licensing requirements. Binaries produced by the AUX compiler should be legally handled the same as binaries produced by any FSF compiler. This compiler implements the full Ada-83, Ada-95, Ada-2005 and Ada-2012 standards.

HuC is a PC Engine C compiler. It can create ROMs (hucard) or CD images and is bundled with an assembler and all kinds of libraries. You can ouput text, scrolls, make sound, control CD, handle sprites and tiles, and more.

Io is small prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).

Jim is an opensource small-footprint implementation of the Tcl programming language. It implements a large subset of Tcl and adds new features like references with garbage collection, closures, built-in Object Oriented Programming system, Functional Programming commands, first-class arrays and UTF-8 support. All this with a binary size of about 100-200kB (depending upon selected options).

Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language Python seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. The predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java. Jython is freely available for both commercial and non-commercial use and is distributed with source code.

LFE, Lisp Flavoured Erlang, is a lisp syntax front-end to the Erlang compiler. Code produced with it is compatible with "normal" Erlang code. An LFE evaluator and shell is also included.

Librep is a Lisp system for UNIX, needed by Sawfish window manager. It contains a Lisp interpreter, byte-code compiler and virtual machine. Applications may use the Lisp interpreter as an extension language, or it may be used for stand-alone scripts. The Lisp dialect was originally inspired by Emacs Lisp, but with the worst features removed. It also borrows many ideas from Scheme.

JRuby is a 100% Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. It is Ruby for the JVM, offering high performance, real threading and support for vast array of libraries. JRuby is highly compatible with Ruby 1.8.7 & 1.9.2 (both versions in single install).

Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending applications, but also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. A fundamental concept in the design of Lua is to provide meta-mechanisms for implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly in the language. For example, although Lua is not a pure object-oriented language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for implementing classes and inheritance. Lua's meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the language small, while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional ways. Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of Lua. Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost.
