This week has been about a logic-based programming language, an array and stack oriented programming language, Lua as a config language, a column-oriented analytical database, a CLI for taking screenshots of webpages and an alternative to Postman.
# Uiua
A programming language that incorporates two of the less-common programming paradigms: array-oriented and stack-oriented.
An array-oriented language is one where the primary data structure is the array. A stack-oriented language is one where all operations manipulate a global stack of values.
# Picat
A logic-based multi-paradigm programming language aimed for general-purpose applications. Picat is a rule-based language, in which predicates, functions, and actors are defined with pattern-matching rules. It also incorporates declarative language features for better productivity of software development, including explicit non-determinism, explicit unification, functions, list comprehensions, constraints, and tabling.
# YAML config file? Pain? Try Lua
An article showcasing Lua as a configuration language. If you are still fond of YAML, you might enjoy noyaml.
# Bruno
A tool for managing and interacting with APIs a-la Postman, using its own markup language to store information about API requests.
# Haylxon
A tool to take screenshots of webpages using a headless chromium-based browser.
# ClickHouse
A column-oriented database optimised for real-time analytical queries. It offers a local option for quick consumption of CSV, Parquet including files stored in AWS S3.
