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.

Storybook 8 Beta
First, we switched the default compiler for new projects from Babel to SWC (Speedy Web Compiler). SWC is dramatically faster than Babel and requires zero configuration. We’ll continue to support Babel in any project currently using it.

Implementing auth flow as fast as possible using NestJS
As the reference explains “**SWC** (Speedy Web Compiler) is an extensible Rust-based platform that can be used for both compilation and bundling. Using SWC with Nest CLI is a great and simple way to significantly speed up your development process.”

Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22
This is specifically about breaking the myth that performing expensive self-contained operations (e.g, parsing GraphQL) in a native extension (C, Rust, etc.) is always faster than the interpreted language.
The JS ecosystem has the same problem, people think rewriting everything in Rust will be a magic fix. In practice, there's always the problem highlighted in the post (transitioning is expensive, causes optimization bailouts), as well as the cost of actually getting the results back into Node-land. This is why SWC abandoned the JS API for writing plugins - constantly bouncing back and forth while traversing AST nodes was even slower than Babel (e.g https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/1392#issuecomment-...)

FTA: Fast TypeScript Analyzer
FTA is a TypeScript static analysis tool built on the speedy foundations of swc. FTA is fast; capable of analyzing more than 150 files per second on typical hardware, it offers a powerful addition to your code quality toolkit.

Show HN: Ezno, a TypeScript checker written in Rust, is now open source
Very cool! I'm curious, is this intended for dev tooling?
For example, I could see this (or something similar) being useful as the engine for a typescript language server that would be faster than the standard one
But if it's not aimed at 1:1 with tsc, would it be intended more for something like swc[1]?
Or what would you expect people to use this for, besides just being a cool project to learn from?

TypeScript team released an explorer for performance tuning
This is... good news, but I still cannot fathom using the default Typescript compiler for regular development. Seriously, leave the type-checking to your IDE and CICD chain, and switch to using tsx (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsx) or swc (https://swc.rs/) and you will _immediately_ notice the difference in speed and productivity.
