Filtrex is a simple and safe JavaScript expression compiler designed for end-user input. It lets users write spreadsheet-like filter expressions without giving them access to raw JavaScript execution. Instead of using eval, Filtrex compiles expressions into JavaScript functions while keeping data access and callable functions under developer control. It supports common use cases such as filtering items, searching across fields, colorizing records, plotting charts, and building browser-based spreadsheet behavior. The expression language supports numbers, strings, external variables, arithmetic, comparisons, regular expression matching, and logical operations. Overall, it gives applications a safer way to let users define dynamic rules and filters.

Closure Compiler is a production-grade JavaScript optimizer and checker that parses JS, analyzes it, removes dead code, rewrites and minifies what remains, and emits faster, smaller bundles. Beyond minification, it performs advanced optimizations such as inlining, property collapsing, type-guided rewrites, and cross-module motion, often yielding substantial load-time wins. It includes a strong static checker that validates syntax, variable references, and type annotations (Closure types or JSDoc), catching bugs early and enabling aggressive transformations safely. The ecosystem provides a Java implementation, npm/JS builds, and documentation for integrating in modern toolchains. Closure Compiler has been used extensively at scale within Google and by the broader community, proving its robustness on very large codebases. Companion repositories track npm packaging and a JS-only variant for environments where running Java is undesirable.

Hogan.js is a 2.5k JS templating engine developed at Twitter. Use it as a part of your asset packager to compile templates ahead of time or include it in your browser to handle dynamic templates. If you're developing with Node.js, just use NPM to add the Hogan package. Hogan.js was developed against the mustache test suite, so everything that holds true for templates is also the case for hogan.js. That means you get variables, sections, lambdas, partials, filters, and everything else you've come to expect from mustache templating, only much, much faster. Use hogan.compile() to precompile your templates into vanilla JS. It's best to serve your templates precompiled whenever you can (rather than the raw templates), as parsing is the most time consuming operation. Once compiled, call the render() method with a context and optional partials object. If supplying partials, you can compile them ahead of time, or pass string templates.

Ino-L is a TUI programming language for Windows that compiles into MS-DOS batch files. Ino-L stands for Innova Language, because Innova is French for innovation. The purpose of the language is to allow programmers the same functionality and abilities of batch files, but with simpler syntax and limited GUI, along with other things MS-DOS does not natively support. Your MS-DOS code can also be incorporated into the Ino-L source code, along with JavaScript and VisualBasic.

JS/CC is a parser generator for JavaScript/ECMAScript, which is entirely written in ECMAScript itself. It produces LALR(1) parsers with integrated lexical analyzers. JS/CC can run as a website or be invoked from a console, and runs on several platforms.

This is an Eclipse plugin based on JSMin Javascript minifier. It adds an Ant task called jsminify that copies Javascript files and minifies them while copying, thus leaving the sources intact.

This is a JavaScript to Scheme translator written entirely in Scheme. Currently tested only with Guile

JavaScriptFlash: Compiling JavaScript to SWF JavaScriptFlash is a web-based platform to support the JavaScript web programmers to develop Flash applications in JavaScript. It compiles the JavaScript code following certain rules into a Flash SWF file

Multimethods for .NET: Makes multi-methods available to *any* language that targets .NET - C#, VB.NET, JScript.NET, Managed C++ and the rest! Uses .NET dynamic assemblies and shows how to generate dynamic .NET types and IL at runtime.

Narrative JavaScript is a small extension to the JavaScript language that enables blocking capabilities for asynchronous operations. This makes writing asynchronous code sequences easier and increases code readability.

Abacus Technologies Relational XQuery is an XQJ compatible XQuery processor that provides the ability to execute XQuery against both relational and XML data sources. Relational data can be transformed to any XML schema using XQuery's powerful features.

Rev = Really Easy Validation - write your form validation code once in this simple and powerful language that generates code for JavaScript, Perl, PHP, and Java. With Rev you get server side and client side data validation with no duplicated code.

Rollup is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It uses the new standardized format for code modules included in the ES6 revision of JavaScript, instead of previous idiosyncratic solutions such as CommonJS and AMD. ES modules let you freely and seamlessly combine the most useful individual functions from your favorite libraries. This will eventually be possible natively everywhere, but Rollup lets you do it today. Rollup can be used either through a command line interface with an optional configuration file, or else through its JavaScript API. Rollup allows you to write your code using the new module system, and will then compile it back down to existing supported formats such as CommonJS modules, AMD modules, and IIFE-style scripts. This means that you get to write future-proof code.

Picture Gallery viewable with HTML web browsers. All dynamics is implemented at client-side in JavaScript. This approach is useful when the server side is able to provide only static contents, or if the gallery is stored on CDROM or other media.

Schism is an experimental compiler that translates Scheme programs into WebAssembly, allowing Scheme code to execute in both browser environments and server platforms like Node.js. Developed initially by Google researchers, the project was designed to explore the intersection of functional programming and WebAssembly’s low-level efficiency. Schism supports a subset of the R6RS Scheme standard and is self-hosting, meaning that the compiler itself is written in and compiled by Schism. Its architecture demonstrates advanced compiler design techniques such as staged compilation and snapshot-based bootstrapping. The project focuses on leveraging WebAssembly’s experimental capabilities, including reference types and tail calls, to test the limits of language portability and runtime performance. Though no longer actively maintained, Schism remains a valuable example of how high-level languages can be mapped to WebAssembly and offers insights into language implementation.

Silis OS is a online based operating system which will allow users to access their files and programs from any where in the world.

Smee allows ECMAScript to be used as an extension language for Smalltalk applications.

Smith is an open source, cross-platform ColdFusion® engine, written entirely in Java. Running on top of Java Runtime Environment and Java Servlet Container, it can be deployed virtually on any operating system and work with any web server.

SuperClass is a JavaScript pre-processor/interpreter object, designed to facilitate class-based OOP in JavaScript. NOTE: Project is closed. Replaced by: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsclass
