I wager Elixir counts.

  Wow, had no idea Elixir was created by a Brazilian as well. Nice, thanks!

    Yes :) Here's a little bit of the story on how we create it: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2015/01/introducing-elixir-radar-the-weekly-email-newsletter-about-elixir/ http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2015/01/introducing-elixir-...

pyside i think origins from same country

Apropos of nothing: does country of origin (or is it residence; or residence of the main contributors) tell us anything that is at all useful? It seems like information - the sort people go 'oh really, how fascinating' to - but I can't really see how it's relevant. Anyone want to chip in and make a stand for national identity or anything? To me it's kinda like you said 'find and grep are the two main contributions to OSS from the flan-eating community'. Yes, I should probably just keep such thoughts to myself ... Oh and htop is awesome! Only used Lua on a Minecraft mod (and an not a programmer/CS) so can't really comment on it.

  I think it's cool to see how these things are spreading round the world, and it's not just the US that creates useful software.

  It's just a little point of interest. I don't often think about my life intersecting with the nation off of Brazil, yet I use htop every day. Now I'll probably cast my mind to a Brazilian rainforest when I do. Just makes the world a slightly more interesting place.

    Thanks! Always nice when we help to make people's perceptions of places less unidimensional. Brazil is not only a place with rainforests, we also have coders! :) (Though, even though I'm a (Southern) Brazilian myself, I used to think the whole "monkeys in the streets" here was a hoax until I moved to Rio de Janeiro and I realized they have tiny squirrel-sized monkeys running atop the power lines there!)

      You're living in Rio de Janeiro? I'm sorry for you.

I don't know why, but seeing Brazilians doing good on open source makes me happy and encourages me to contribute too!
