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.

- Libcello – higher level C programming
- The NSA list of memory-safe programming languages has been updated

Object-oriented Programming with ANSI-C [pdf]
Yes, that's C. C macros can take you quite far. Unfortunately because it's just a bunch of macros, it's quite brittle. Like high level abstractions created with macros in assembly language. You have to do all the checking and reasoning about it since the compiler cannot.

Better C Generics: The Extendible _Generic
It took me a long time to understand, coming from higher level programming, that a lot of exactly that "higher level" is just systematic fat pointer conventions. And because pointers-with-metadata is not a first-class language construct, we invent all these languages that codify a particular fat pointer convention. Cello is an example of what kinds of abstractions can be built on top of a tiny little bit of (non-native) fat pointer convention.

OOP in C
There is a lightweight object oriented extension to C called Objective-C [1] that unfortunately never gained much traction outside the NeXT/Apple ecosystem. There is also Cello [2].

Ask HN: Modern C Libraries
Regular expressions library to validate information before dumping to rocksdb.

Non-critical implimentation fun, use cello [1] for 'gawk' functionality in C with C++ objects/classes.

- What does the ??!??! operator do in C?
-
Is it possible to make C as safe as Rust?
You can achieve a fairly decent runtime safety for some types of project. Check out libcello and my own monster (libstent, lame presentation).
-
Ask HN: I like studying the concept of abstractions
towards lisp related data structures / algorithms (aka recursive tree data structures & algorithms).
So, no distinction between metadata vs. structual storage unless noted.
Anything beyond that tends towards masters & upper level undergraduate level material. aka review the implimentation of a programming language for algorithm & data structure usage per language features.
aka Autonoma / regular expressions backround: Lisp in Small Pieces by Christian Queinnec; ; https://github.com/aalhour/awesome-compilers; On Lisp by Paul Graham; Let over Lambda by Doug Hoyte; C 'macro's pushed to maximum effect : https://libcello.org/
Left out Comparison of languages; Transform from lang a to lang b; and language implimentation as discussions tend to assume masters / upper level undergraduate knowledge

Cake: C23 Front End and Transpiler C23 – C99
with skills like this, mind to push cello forward? https://github.com/orangeduck/Cello really like it but not skillful enough to do it myself.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python.
I really hope they succeed.

- Ask HN: Who is developing a programming language that compiles to C?
- The V Programming Language 0.4
-
Ah, Go, with its simple and straightforward syntax, where things just make sense (most of the time, before generics were added)
And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :)
-
Why is Vlang's autofree model not more widely used?
I discovered VLang today. It's an interesting project.

Seed7 version 2023-05-29 released on GitHub and SF
According to their own benchmarks, Seed7 can run faster than C (it compiles to C, but it's entirely possible the emited code is better optimized than a human could write directly in C)... it doesn't have a GC BUT manages memory automatically (I didn't really follow the explanation in the FAQ, something about automatically freeing variables that go out of scope and keeping only one reference around?)... that's like a current pipe dream for language designers! From https://vale.dev/ to https://vlang.io/, no one has pulled that off yet, to my knowledge... has Seed7 done that all those years ago?!

Eggcellent Adventure - announcement
Help V programming language to gain more popularity and show to game development community that this is a good language for game development
-
As a Go developer, I’m surprised Crystal isn’t more popular
Try http://vlang.io
- Go superset
What are some alternatives?
vos - Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language
Odin - Odin Programming Language
cfront-3 - self education and historical research of the C++ compiler cfront v3
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
glibc - GNU Libc
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
infer - A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C
dmd - dmd D Programming Language compiler
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Vale - Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/
metaparse - A library for generating compile time parsers parsing embedded DSL code as part of the C++ compilation process
v - Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io
