PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX and Solaris. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 2.3, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and uses the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility. The main goal of PyInstaller is to be compatible with 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. This means that, with PyInstaller, all the required tricks to make external packages work are already integrated within PyInstaller itself so that there is no user intervention required. You'll never be required to look for tricks in wikis and apply custom modification to your files or your setup scripts. As an example, libraries like PyQt, Django or matplotlib are fully supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.

The freeWrap program turns TCL/TK scripts into single-file binary executable programs. freeWrap can wrap TCL/TK applications that consist of multiple script and binary files. freeWrap combines all the files together into a single executable file.

ECL development has moved to https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl

X11-Basic is a dialect of the BASIC programming language with graphics capability that integrates features like shell scripting, cgi-Programming and full graphical visualisation into the easy to learn basic language on modern computers.

Objeck is an object-oriented programming language with functional features. Objeck emphasizes, expression, simplicity, portability, and scalability. The programming environment consists of a compiler, virtual machine, and command line debugger with IDE plugins.

GNU Prolog is a free implementation (under GPL) of the logic programming language PROLOG. It can compile to native machine code which is extremely fast in execution. Another feature is the included constraint solver.

ANS Forth for Win32 and Linux/x86 (used to compile the following SF projects: acWEB, acFTP, acFreeProxy, acSMTP, Forth-Script)

This project is dedicated to developing more readable format(s) for Lisp-based languages (such as Common Lisp and Scheme) and implementing those formats (readers, pretty-printers, editor macros, etc.). MIT license preferred, to spread them widely.

The Mozart Programming System is an open source implementation of the programming language Oz 3. Oz is a multi-paradigm language that supports declarative programming, object-oriented programming, constraint programming, concurrency and distributed programming as part of a coherent whole.

Interpreter, compiler, libraries, documentation and examples for the Seed7 programming language. Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C/C++ and Java. In Seed7 new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used where it brings advantages and not in places where other solutions are more obvious. Seed7 spares no effort to support portable programming. Several driver libraries assure that the access to operating system resources such as files, directories, network, clock, keyboard, console and graphics are done in a portable way. Although Seed7 contains several concepts from other programming languages, it is generally not considered a direct descendant of any other programming language.

Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support other xBase dialects. Multitasking, OOP,SIX/Comix, SQL and ODBC drivers,a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), ....

Refal.NET - Versatile, Compact yet Powfull Text Transformer and Compiler-Writing System. Based on Refal.NET Virtual Machine (+Refal.NET Compiler), this RAD-tool might be used for rapid prototyping, decreasing up to 10 times development efforts.

VolksForth is a 16bit Forth System with the goal to produce a manageable Forthsystem for computer systems with restricted system resources.

Win32Forth is ANS compatible, Forth language application development system with many tools; Interactive console, integrated extensible debugger, a GUI file editor, hypertext rendering, hyperlinked source files. VIEW <word-name> to explore the many files

The Portable Forth Environment implements the ANSI Forth Standard, it is fully written in C, the newer version has a module concept, and it is fully multithreaded. Autoconf used. Tested in embedded environments.

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

GLBCC is a front-end to the GNU Compiler Collection. GLBCC adds Liberty Basic to the GCC language collection so that Liberty Basic code can be compiled directly to an executable. Since GLBCC uses GCC, the object files can also be linked with object file

Psyco showed that it is possible to execute Python code at speeds approaching that of fully compiled languages, by "specialization". The project is now dead and replaced by PyPy: http://pypy.org/

GDL - GNU Data Language, a free IDL (Interactive Data Language, see http://ittvis.com/idl/) compatible incremental compiler.

LoLCode1337 (speak lolcode leet) is an implementation of the esoteric programming language lolcode. It offers a compiler, virtual machine (=interpreter), debugger, internal editor and it's commands set is close to that what other lolcode implementations offer. More to come soon.

Very high level modular programming language with multiple dispatch, object-oriented programming, functional closures and goal-directed programming.

Loglan'82 is a programming language conceived for object and distributed programming. It has many features that make Loglan'82 a tool surpassing other programming languages: * It enjoys a unique safe and efficient system of managing objects, see [[Safe dealocation]], * It offers modules of classes (__class__), moreover it allows to declare modules of cooperating objects i.e. **coroutines** and modules of threads ('''process'''). One can create not only objects of classes, but also objects of coroutines with their ''fibres'' and objects of processes, aka agents with their *threads*. * Virtual machines of Loglan may connect (through internet) in a virtual, multiprocesorr computer.This allows to distribute a computation of a program between processors in a controlled way. * Objects of processes (agents) can be alocated on different nodes of a network of virtual machines or on the same machine.
