My little language Newt is 7 kloc. Dunno if it's worth including, it's mostly an exercise to learn how these things work and is not as polished as I'd like.

- Self-hosted

- Compiles to javascript

- Bidirectional typechecking with NbE (based on elaboration zoo)

- Dependent type checking

- type classes

- ADTs with dependent pattern matching

- TCO (trampoline for mutually tail recursive functions)

- Erasure of compile-time only values (0, ω quantities, but not linear)

- Web playground

- LSP (added this month)

- Syntax is similar to Agda / Idris / Haskell
