There are tons of systems I did not mention, the field is quite large. Just start with the references I gave and continue down the rabbit hole :-)

I am quite aware of KScript and KSWorld, in fact one of the authors shares an office with me, though we are both not in that often. These are highly experimental systems, so they didn't quite fit into my narrative.
