Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Zig self hosted compiler is now capable of building itself
To clarify I meant as int8/int16's are packed in structs to compare to struct bitfields. Can't recall about the stack rules. Here's more discussion:
http://www.catb.org/esr/structure-packing/
https://github.com/Twon/Alignment/blob/master/docs/alignment...
Also ARM for example doesn't have 8/16 bit registers so int8 or int16 will use a 32bit register:

Curiosity got to me, perhaps Zig had improved significantly. So I compared the first benchmark I found (kostya/benchmarks/bf) with Zig with Nim. For the smaller input (bench.b) Zig did run with ~22% less RAM (about 20kB less).
However, for the larger input (mandel.b) Nim+ARC used ~33% less RAM in safe mode: Nim 2.163mb -d:release; Zig 2.884mb -O ReleaseSafe; Zig 2.687mb -O ReleaseFast. The Nim requires 0.5mb less ram and the code is ~40% shorter. I don't have time to try out the Rust or Go versions though.

Blog post: My perspective on RAII and memory management in C++ and Rust
GC'd languages are designed to leverage GCs, meaning they usually allocate a lot. Some of the more recent ones (C#, Go) have ways around it or to limit it, but in your average GC'd language you have to really bend yourself out of shape to limit allocations (IIRC the Ixy effort / study / thing never managed to make the Java hotpath allocation-free).

What are my prospects in web programming, if I don't like JS?
like not-even-in-the-same-ballpark faster. In this realworld example (userspace network drivers in managed languages) JS manages about 20-30% of native code performance, python iirc is below 1%

Don’t call it a comeback: Why Java is still champ
- Support for generic-aware value types (struct vs. class) and low-level features like stackalloc: very valuable for high-performance scenarios and native FFI. See for instance https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy-languages. In comparison, Java doesn't even have unsigned integers. Yes, Project Valhalla is coming someday.
As well, debatable to some folks, but: properties (get/set); operator overloading; LINQ > Java streams; extension methods; default parameters; collection initializers; tuples; nullable reference types; a dozen smaller features

Why did you switch from another language to Rust? Do you regret not learning it earlier?
