Since I generally have no clue what technologies are popular (other than the obvious big name projects) I'll just toss out some interesting links I've recently bookmarked in comments here.

- gron (Greppable JSON): https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

- MarkDownload (Markdown Web Clipper): https://github.com/deathau/markdownload

- Lean4 links:

-- Theorem proving: https://lean-lang.org/theorem_proving_in_lean4/introduction....

-- Natural Number Game: https://adam.math.hhu.de/#/g/leanprover-community/NNG4

Just making the links clickable: Couple of things I like - tarantool https://www.tarantool.io/en/ - rebol/red-lang https://www.red-lang.org/ - U++ : https://www.ultimatepp.org/ - lazarus: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ - fasm: https://flatassembler.net/

I've to admit i tried to edit the post multiple times, even checked the formatting options https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc (having links between angle brackets didn't work :( ) sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for doing the effort :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system This has accounted for about 90% of everything I've built since 1985. Pick code generates my side project: https://eddiots.com/1

“ It is named after one of its developers, Dick Pick.[2][3]” you can’t make this stuff up!

I really like ARM (automatic ripping machine)

https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-rippi...

Put a DVD/blu ray in a drive and it automatically determines the title, starts ripping, then pops the disc out when it's done.

There's options for post-ripping transcoding also.
