Cython Description
Cython, an optimizing static compiler, is available for both the Python programming languages and the extended Cython programming languages (based on Pyrex). It makes it as easy to write Python extensions using C. Cython combines the power of Python with C, allowing you to write Python code that calls back to C or C++ natively at any time. Static type declarations can be used to convert readable Python code into plain C performance. Combine source code level debugging to identify bugs in Python, Cython and C code. Large data sets can be interacted with efficiently, e.g. Multi-dimensional NumPy arrays. You can quickly build your applications in the mature, well-used CPython ecosystem. The Cython language, which is a superset Python language, supports calling C functions as well as declaring C types on variables or class attributes.

Nim
Nim is a statically-typed compiled systems programming languages. It combines the best concepts of mature languages such as Ada, Python, and Modula. Nim generates native dependencies-free executables that are not dependent on a virtual computer. They are small and can be redistributed easily. Nim's memory management, which is deterministic and customizable, has destructors and moves semantics that are inspired by C++/Rust. It is well-suited to embedded, hard-realtime applications. Modern concepts such as zero-overhead iterators, compile-time evaluations of user-defined functions, and the preference for value-based datatypes on the stack make code extremely performant. It supports multiple backends: it can compile to C, C++, JavaScript so that Nim is available for all frontend and backend needs.

Eclipse Ceylon
Eclipse Ceylon is a language that allows you to write large programs in teams. Before you start the tour, take a 15-minute introduction to Eclipse Ceylon. It is best to download the IDE to get started and then write some code. You can then explore the modules in Ceylon Herd. You can also do it online. This is a community project. All of our work is open source. Eclipse Ceylon's powerful flow sensitive static type system is able to catch many bugs and allow you to express more easily: union and intersect types, tuples function types, mixin inheritance and reified generics. We spend more time reading code from others than we do writing our own. Eclipse Ceylon places a high value on readability. It supports treelike structures and elegant syntax sugar when appropriate.

Vyper
Vyper is an object-oriented, pythonic language that targets Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Security: Vyper should make it easy and natural to create secure smart contracts.
Language and compiler simplicity: Both the language and the compiler implementation must be simple.
Auditability: Vyper should be as human-readable as possible. It should also be as difficult as possible to write code that is misleading. Simplicity is more important for the reader than for the writer. This is especially true for readers who have little or no experience with Vyper and programming in general.

Fortran
Fortran was designed from the ground up to support computationally intensive applications in engineering and science. You can write code that runs fast and close to the metal with mature and battle-tested libraries and compilers. Fortran is statically and heavily typed. This allows the compiler to catch programming errors early. This allows the compiler generate efficient binary code. Fortran is a small language that is easy to learn and use. It is easy to express most mathematical and arithmetic operations on large arrays by simply writing them out on a whiteboard. Fortran is a natively parallel programming languages that uses intuitive array-like syntax to exchange data between CPUs. It is possible to run almost identical code on one CPU, on a shared memory multicore system or on a distributed-memory HPC system or cloud-based system.
