GDC is a D language front end for the GNU Compiler Collection. It supports a number of targets and nearly all features of Digital Mars D.

Hugs (Haskell User's Gofer System) (also Hugs 98) is a bytecode interpreter for the functional programming language Haskell. Hugs is the successor to Gofer, and was originally derived from Gofer version 2.30b.It offers fast compilation of programs ... [More] and reasonable execution speed. It also comes with a simple graphics library. Hugs is good for people learning the basics of Haskell, but is by no means a "toy" implementation. It is the most portable and lightweight of the Haskell implementations. Hugs deviates from the Haskell 98 specification[2] in several minor ways.[3] For example, Hugs does not support mutually recursive modules. The Hugs prompt accepts expressions for evaluation, but not module, type or function definitions. [Less]

Io is a 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).
