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.

GitHub - dcantrell/bsdutils: Alternative to GNU coreutils using software from FreeBSD
https://github.com/DiegoMagdaleno/BSDCoreUtils/blob/master/src/cat/cat.c (not upstream but a port)

Debian Running on Rust Coreutils
The Rust implementation that we are discussing is MIT licensed and as far as I know not part of GNU.
I do not believe that "Coreutils" is trademarked by GNU.
There are other projects that use the name "Coreutils" that are not part of GNU:

Have you heard of posh: Policy-compliant Ordinary SHell?
Unsure. Would BSD CoreUtils help?

Writing Bash Scripts that are not only Bash: Checking for Bashisms and testing with Dash
This makes me want to build a container for testing scripts that contains: posh, BSD coretools, shellcheck, checkbashisms.

Ninja is enough build system
Samurai is a faster, drop-in replacement for ninja.

Using Landlock to Sandbox GNU Make
"If you want to do what "scrappy Google" did these days, then you should use Python + Ninja."
Or, better yet, use a simpler, faster and more portable^1 Ninja written in C.

1. The "simpler, faster, and more portable", are the author's claims, not mine. I am not the author.

Moving SciPy to the Meson Build System
Why is Python not portable, as in, on which systems is "build Python and then use that to run Meson" not a reasonable option?
The CI for boson seems like it runs on platforms where Python definitely is available, but also I notice the CI uses samurai, a reimplementation of ninja with a similar motivation: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai
Ninja is in C++ so I am even more confused at Sanurai.
Is this just an implementation-diversity thing? (which is great!)

xorg sucks, use swc
This means ninja is popular both on embedded for its tiny footprint (samurai is about 3k sloc and portable), and for humongous projects like Chrome, because it is infinitely scalable in complexity due to its genaration method.

Debian Running on Rust Coreutils
You could probably post-process samurai (a rewrite of ninja into C) into a single-file: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai
