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.

Show HN: Flash Attention in ~100 lines of CUDA
If CPU/GPU execution speed is the goal while simultaneously code golfing the source size, https://halide-lang.org/ might have come in handy.

From slow to SIMD: A Go optimization story
This is a task where Halide https://halide-lang.org/ could really shine! It disconnects logic from scheduling (unrolling, vectorizing, tiling, caching intermediates etc), so every step the author describes in the article is a tunable in halide. halide doesn't appear to have bindings for golang so calling C++ from go might be the only viable option.

Implementing Mario's Stack Blur 15 times in C++ (with tests and benchmarks)
Probably would have been much easier to do 15 times in https://halide-lang.org/
The idea behind Halide is that scheduling memory access patterns is critical to performance. But, access patterns being interwoven into arithmetic algorithms makes them difficult to modify separately.
So, in Halide you specify the arithmetic and the schedule separately so you can rapidly iterate on either.

Deepmind Alphadev: Faster sorting algorithms discovered using deep RL
It is not the sorting per-se which was improved here, but sorting (particularly short sequences) on modern CPUs with really the complexity being on the difficulty of predicting what will work quickly on these modern CPUs.
Doing an empirical algorithm search to find which algorithms fit well on modern CPUs/memory systems is pretty common, see e.g. FFTW, ATLAS, https://halide-lang.org/

Blog Post: Can You Trust a Compiler to Optimize Your Code?
It doesn’t apply in this case, but in general if you really want the best vectorization I would suggest using https://halide-lang.org instead of trying to coerce your compiler.

What would make you try a new language?
If we drop the "APL" requirement, wouldn't Halide fit your criteria for the third?

V Language Review (2023)
Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.
Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.
About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.
My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

- Hopefully, the V developers will establish a relationship with Microsoft.

The V Programming Language 0.4
V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.
A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.
The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.
Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.
