Languages and implementations that would be nice to have (category 3)

Cool, I'll add this one.

I got flang (https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang), a Fortran compiler targeting LLVM, ported to OpenBSD.

Also ported a Scheme to C compiler named Cyclone (https://github.com/justinethier/cyclone).

Hi Ibara

The classics COBOL/FORTRAN ? Just a nice to have for me, what we have already is what I need.

IIRC clang is in the process of adding FORTRAN. (edit: Well missed your post on flang, nice to know)

Thanks for the thread,
John

Two new additions:
Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) -- OpenBSD only as far as I know, the port is out-of-tree but I'm trying to convince the port maker to submit it to ports@ (https://github.com/wmoxam/crystal-openbsd-port)

GNU D Compiler (GDC) -- I got this running on OpenBSD. Need to import it, but now all the BSDs have support for the D language.

Cat. 4
OpenBSD's packages also have Maven. Maven is build system written especially for Java projects, but it can be also used by projects in other languages.

What I don't know is whether OpenBSD packages provide JavaFX support. It is a set of packages with classes for Java SE to develop GUI programs. It should be built-in JDK for Java 8, but I had tried to compile this Hello world project without success. It compiled on Windows with some minor changes to pom.xml (specified target Java version).

Added some new languages to the list: K, Rexx, and SNOBOL4

[ibara]

Added GNU Pascal, since I had reason to make a port of it.

[ibara]

Added compilers/toolchains for WebAssembly, Pony, and HolyC.

I've been reading "How to Design Programs" and last night I reinstalled my Lenovo N580 laptop that had FreeBSD, with OpenBSD 6.3. Since HtDP uses Racket, I downloaded the newest version, 7.0, from www.racket-lang.org and it compiled successfully.

[ibara]

Added some new things:
PC-BASIC (a GW-BASIC complete environment clone)
f18 (new Fortran compiler from Nvidia, to be integrated into LLVM)
mrustc (independent Rust implementation written in C++)
elvish, fish, oil (new shells)
MuJS (javascript interpreter)

Prolog is available, at least in two versions (GNU Prolog and SWI-Prolog) in the OpenBSD ports tree:

lang/gprolog
lang/swi-prolog

and more than likely other BSD's.

Added, thanks.
