Rebase 38 highlights several innovative projects for developers, starting with hiphop, Facebook's PHP to C++ converter that enhances performance by reducing CPU usage, making it ideal for large-scale PHP applications. Oileide is introduced as an auto-bookmarking library that simplifies linking AJAX-intensive pages by automatically loading content when a page is reloaded, with no dependencies on libraries like jQuery. The RubyGem sleeping-wolf is presented as a tool for synchronizing ticgit tickets with GitHub Issues, although it is in an early alpha stage and requires community support for development. Another project, funfix, is a Python library for generating test data using Google App Engine’s Datastore API, inspired by Rails’ fixtures, and offers features such as deriving fixtures from others. Finally, squawk is a command line tool that allows SQL-like queries on log files, providing a user-friendly option for sysadmins to analyze data from web server logs without deep Unix knowledge.
