Orion Language - One binary. HTTP, dataframes, Excel, S3 and AI built in.

Orion is a language compiled to bytecode in Rust, built for backend and automation. HTTP server, dataframes, Excel, crypto, S3 and native LLM calls (think "prompt") ship in the standard library no package manager required. One binary, 58 built-in modules, own VM + Cranelift JIT, own GC, 435 automated tests. Includes a VS Code extension with IntelliSense, real compiler diagnostics, REPL, and more. Still in active development, not 1.0 yet.

Flux, Modern API Client - REST, gRPC & WebSocket client. No Electron. AI-powered.

Flux is a native desktop API client built with Tauri not Electron. Supports REST, gRPC (with .proto import & server reflection), WebSocket, and SSE out of the box. Run the same request across multiple environments side by side. Generate tests with AI using your own API key (BYOK). Open source. No account needed to start.
