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.

Is it possible to have a superset of the C programming languages standard that is as safe as Rust?
You might be looking for something like https://github.com/alshdavid/BorrowScript
-
Why are systems languages always overly complex?
I think AssemblyScript is the best example.
Adding the borrow checker is quite invasive though. This guy is trying https://github.com/alshdavid/BorrowScript.
I think it's a kind of fun constraint that experienced and bored devs like to challenge themselves with - the borrow checker. The latest obsession. You absolutely don't need a borrow checker, just like you didn't need everything to be functional programming, but it's intellectually stimulating.

TypeScript as Fast as Rust: TypeScript++
Sounds like BorrowScript, which is TypeScript syntax, a Rust borrow checker, and Go-like coroutines. It's designed for wasm and web api targets. (not compatible with TypeScript though)

High level overview of the algorithm steps of Rust's borrow checker?
I asked how to implement a "borrow checker" in JavaScript in my initial attempts (I've learned a decent amount since), which led me to randomly finding BorrowScript that seems to have another implementation I think, so going to be taking a deeper look there for inspiration as well. But if one could explain the steps of the algorithm, and how it integrates/relates with the type inference process, that would be of great use. Not for learning how to use Rust, but to learn how this aspect of its compiler works.

Text Editor Data Structures: Rethinking Undo
I've been working on an editor (not text) in C++ and pretty early got into undo/redo. I went down the route of doIt/undoIt for commands but that quickly got old. There was both the extra work needed to implement undo separately for every operation, but also the nagging feeling that the undo operation for some operation wasn't implemented correctly.
In the end, I switched to representing the entire document state using persistent data structures (using the immer library). This vastly simplified things and implementing undo/redo becomes absolutely trivial when using persistent data structures. It's probably not something that is suitable for all domains, but worth checking out.

Show HN: A hash array-mapped trie implementation in C
How does this compare to https://github.com/arximboldi/immer (other than the C/C++ difference)?
Also, it's my understanding that, in practice, persistent data structures require a garbage collector in order to handle deallocation when used in a general-purpose way. How does your implementation handle that?

Text Editor Data Structures
You might be interested in ewig and immer by Juan Pedro Bolivar Puente:
https://github.com/arximboldi/ewig
https://github.com/arximboldi/immer
See the author instantly opening a ~1GB text file with async loading, paging through, copying/pasting, and undoing/redoing in their prototype “ewig” text editor about 27 minutes into their talk here:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sPhpelUfu8Q
It’s backed by a “vector of vectors” data structure called a relaxed radix balanced tree:
https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/169879/files/RMTrees.pdf
That original paper has seen lots of attention and attempts at performance improvements, such as:

value semantics and spans/views
You’re absolutely right, however people have been putting in the “extra efforts” required for efficiency. Check out immer if you’re interested.

Introducing B++ Trees, a C++ B+ Tree library
Yeah I agree that I should link that wikipedia page in the docs, I'll do that as soon as I get a chance. immer (https://github.com/arximboldi/immer) also links that page in its docs, for the exact same reason I'm sure. Interestingly, there is a lot of overlap between persistent data structures in the functional programming sense and persistent data structures in the persisted-to-disk sense because persistent data structures in the FP sense are one of the best ways to guarantee atomic updates and safe failure recovery in a persisted-to-disk system! Btrfs and ZFS, as well as many databases, are at their core basically just copy-on-write B+ trees.

What are some architectural patterns for creating a game editor.
I’ve never tried it, but I love the idea of implementing editor scene state using immutable data structures like https://github.com/arximboldi/immer With that, every edit would append a new node to a list of scene states. Undo/redo becomes iterating your view of the scene up and down through that list. Can’t screw up an undo function if there’s never any work to do :P

TypeScript Without Side Effects
I have! I think it's related to the C++ immer library which I used several years ago in Vortex. It's kinda like the previous generation of ValueScript. 🍻
