In case you don't fancy visiting all the links:

- Tarantool is some sort of in-memory DB with optional persistence

- Red is a programming language that has made the odd syntax decision to use {} for strings and [] to define scopes

- U++ is one of those all-encompasing C++ frameworks like QT

- Lazarus is a Pascal(?) IDE

- And FASM is a toolkit for building assemblers

I'm struggling to find the common thread across these links, apart from the OP probably being an enthusiast of obscure programming languages



Red is the spiritual successor to Rebol, from which its syntax comes.

Thank you for summing it up. The common is things from developer's perspective I feel they should be checked out (not just programming languages)


I guess I'm looking for a hint as to why this selection of items is particularly interesting to you. These cover a pretty wide spread of topics, and for folks who aren't well versed in each topic, they might be better served by evaluating the standard option in that field (Redis, Qt, etc) before they dive into the weird alternatives


I appreciate your comment, I've interests in so many things, specially RAD systems like lazarus, delphi, gambas (I was from that era) and I tinkered with Rebol many years ago, and the experience was quite "unique". Tarantool I had to work with in previous projects (it offers a lot, but very unknown)


Lazarus is an Object Pascal IDE modeled after the old versions of Delphi.
