Awesome to see 1.4 finally released, and to have a version that should hopefully build cleanly out of the box on OpenBSD and FreeBSD and mostly "just work"[1]. Next target is NetBSD[2] then DragonFly!

The stage 1 compiler is written in C++, but the Stage 2 compiler will be Zig: https://github.com/ziglang/zig#stage-2-build-self-hosted-zig...

Eventually, i'll be Zig all the way down, but the language needs to get to the point where it can actually support writing a compiler for itself (and Andrew has some big plans for the way the compiler should work from what I understand).

I haven't used their API, but I have used their domain registration and SSL services in the past.

Name.com have a JSON API for resellers that you must apply to use: https://www.name.com/reseller

Gandi have an XML-RPC based API too (and has some decent code examples): http://doc.rpc.gandi.net/

Plus there's the ravenscar profile for working with hard real-time systems, making it possibly the best language for working with embedded and safety critical systems.

If only the tooling was a little better (as mentioned above), Ada would be my go-to language of choice.

For anybody doing .NET development, RegexHero (http://regexhero.net/tester) is nice. It uses Silverlight though...
