Red is an imperative programming language with very rich standard library including many domain specific type definitions.

The syntax of Red is similar to Rebol - commercial language developed specially for small footprint WEB applications (like Silverlight or Java).

Red also includes a subset for systems programming. Its syntax can be easily parsed as a data structure and doesn't require any complex parser generators.

I was surprised when I first saw how many applications in commerce the Pharo language had. Before, it seemed to me that Smalltalk was almost dead.

Pharo is a modern Smalltalk dialect with a convenient IDE including very powerfull interactive debugger. It is both the object-oriented development environment and a language-based operating system.

Chicken Scheme is a modern compiler for the R5RS Scheme programming language. It compiles Scheme code to C and allows easy FFI through foreign lambda interface.

The compiler supports many extensions to the base language and has a rich code library.

C is a perfect translation target for many high-level programming languages. It can be easily used as a flexible intermediate language which is perfectly optimized, it can be built for almost any existing platform.

The following article shows a simple example of a FORTH to C translator. The author describes how to feed gdb with proper info about source language lines locations to simplity debugging and provide pretty backtraces in known IDEs.
