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.

I don't know about C++ but there is this incredible course on C by learning to build your own Lisp. https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/

A Completely Non-Technical Explanation of Deep Learning
I find the best way to learn technical topics is to build a simplified version of the thing. The trick is to understand the relationship between the high level components without getting lost in the details. This high level understanding then helps inform you when you drill down into specifics.
I think this book is a shining example of that philosophy: https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/. In the book, you implement an extremely bare-bones version of lisp, but it has been invaluable in my career. I found I was able to understand nuanced language features much more quickly because I have a clear model of how programming languages are decomposed into their components.

What can you actually do in C?
If you still want to produce a toy project in C I would suggest to build your own LISP ;-)

How to grok PL development?
If you're after a lisp, MAL on Github (By kanaka) and https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/ are good.

Looking for beginner resources on writing a Lisp from scratch
Build your own Lisp is cool but offloads the language grammar and the parsing to the author's mpc library, this is already way overkill for what I'd like to do.

Repost from LinkedIn. I found it quite hilarious
Lisps are also a good language if you want to know how languages work. They are very easy to make an interpreter for. There are good tutorials for that at https://github.com/kanaka/mal and https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/.

Lisp in 99 lines of C and how to write one yourself [pdf]
Anyone have any input on:
https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/
It's been in my bookmarks for a long time but I've never really had time to really start it. The "who is this for" page say:
"This book is for anyone wanting to learn C, or who has once wondered how to build their own programming language.".
Well, I'm fairly competent in C (but not great) but would like to get a glimpse of what it's like to build my own language. Is it worth the time?

ESLint: under the hood
Now, those concepts are a whole entire world to explore, and this is out of the scope of this article. I suggest the reading of the Chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom for a wider (but still practical) understanding of those subjects. Another practical great resource to look at is The SuperTiny Compiler. To explore them from a theorical point of view, you can find A LOT of resources from books or courses online.

GCC uses GCC to compile itself
I am currently writing a much more intricate version of the Super Tiny Compiler (https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler) in Rust, only I plan on handling many basic operations, essentially a compiler for a MUCH simpler version of Go. Great project idea btw, for anyone who wants to explore compilers. But in doing so, have really found a new respect for just what is going on when you gcc -o garbageprogram mytrashcode.c

how would you make a programming language if you were a complete beginner?
Here, at least take this floatie: https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler

Any good resources for reading code?
Outside of this, I recently learned about The Super Tiny Compiler which was a project written to be read. Mind you, it has a vast amount of comments, which may be more of a leg-up than you're asking for.

Ask HN: Guidance on writing a source to source compiler (transpiler)
You could start here:
https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler
That converts from lisp-like to javascript. Really though this is a big field, and there are lots of resources out there.
To get started look at your input language; you'll need to lex and parse that. Then massage the parsed structure into the appropriate output.
You can see me convert brainfuck to C, or x86 assembly language here:
