Racket

Programming language suitable for implementation tasks ranging from scripting to application development, and supporting the creation of new programming languages. It includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, and various other tools.

Nickle

The Nickle Programming Language is a C-like language with modern programming language features, intended for rapid prototyping, complex scripting, and numerical calculation. The current implementation is an interactive compiler to byte code written in C, with a runtime system written in C and Nickle.

The Fancy Programming Language

Fancy is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language heavily inspired by Smalltalk, Ruby and Erlang. It supports dynamic code evaluation (as in Ruby & Smalltalk), class-based mixins, (simple) pattern matching, runtime introspection & reflection, "monkey patching" and much more. ... [More] It runs on Rubinius, the Ruby VM, and thus has first-class integration with Ruby's core library and any additional Ruby libraries that run on Rubinius, including most C-extensions. [Less]

Herschel

Heather is an general-purpose multiparadigm programming language. It is strongly typed, offering type inference and parametric polymorphism ("generics"). It is consequently object oriented (everything is a object, even functions), while its consequent multiple dispatch approach keeps a ... [More] strong functional touch. The object model is class-oriented, supporting multiple inheritance as well as the separation of types ("protocols", "interfaces") and classes. The grammar is regular, small, and context free. In particular it can be parsed without symbol tables, and does not require a special preprocessor since it offers powerful hygienic macros as part of the language and special support for conditional compilation.
