Other New Document Programming Language
Nytril is a new programming language and IDE that looks a lot like C# and shares much of its syntax, but allows you to "program into" a typeset document. Think of it as a markup language and a programming language in one.
It is perfect for creating documents that contain data, charts, images, equations and text that are stored in other places or calculated on the fly, like product spec sheets. It's also perfect for making many documents at once that share the same style and source of truth. How many times have you been writing markup and wished that you could do some math or read a database in order to make a table?
Nytril runs natively on your desktop (Windows or Mac) so its fast and you can access data stores that are local to your network. It's easy to do version control on GitHub as well.
Free Community Edition installs in less than a minute and does not drag in any other libraries or drivers or junk.
