SubScript, a way to extend common programming languages aimed to ease event handling and concurrency. Typical application areas are GUI controllers, text processing applications and discrete event simulations. SubScript is based on a mathematical concurrency theory named Algebra of Communicating Processes (ACP). ACP is a 30-year-old branch of mathematics, as solid as numeric algebra and as Boolean algebra. In fact, you can regard ACP as an extension to Boolean algebra with 'things that can happen'. These items are glued together with operations such alternative, sequential and parallel compositions. This way ACP combines the essence of grammar specification languages and notions of parallelism.

"The idea behind Kundera is to make working with NoSQL Databases drop-dead simple and fun. Kundera is being developed with following objectives: To make working with NoSQL as simple as working with SQL To serve as JPA Compliant mapping solution for NoSQL Datastores. To help developers, forget the complexity of NoSQL stores and focus on Domain Model. To make switching across data-stores as easy as changing a configuration. "

"Bandicoot is an open source programming system with a new set-based programming language, persistency capabilities, and run-time environment. The language is similar to general purpose programming languages where you write functions/methods and access data through variables. Though, in Bandicoot, you always manipulate data in sets using a small set-based algebra (the relational algebra)." "Here are the main features:   - functions are automatically exposed via HTTP using CSV for data, e.g. /List, /Append  - supports persistency via global variables (with transactions and ACID)  - can run on multiple computers to scale up the read throughput  - built in operators from the relational algebra with a simple syntax, e.g. "+" (union), "-" (minus)  - small binary ~100KB"
