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.

Algebraic Effects: Another mistake carried through to perfection?
Sounds a bit like Haxl. From this page:

Ban 1+N in Django
+1. The JS event loop auto-monad-izing Promises into Haxl [1]-esqe trees of implicitly-batched loads has been a big win for us building on JavaScript/TypeScript.
If I had to move to another language, I'd really want to find a "powered by the event loop / dataloader" framework, i.e. Vert.x for Java.
Also, per dataloader, a shameless plug for our ORM that has dataloader de-N+1-ing built natively into all object graph traversals:

You mean, Haxl? [1] But AFAIK only a few devs are involved for the development.

Do You Know Where Haskell Is Used?
Probably, the most googled and well-known example of Haskell application in major companies is the Facebook Meta spam filters. Messages containing spam, links to potential malware and phishing attacks are filtered by Sigma, the system that was rewritten in Haskell in 2015. The choice of language was based, among other things, on performance requirements, the need for pure functions and static typing, as well as the possibility of interactive development. The Haxl framework is used under the bonnet, which the company has open-sourced. You can find more details about the development process and technical aspects in the company’s blog post.

An Ideal Data-Model-First Development Approach for the real-world apps
Since you mention Any real-world application uses a database or seventeen in the backend, it's probably worth checking out https://github.com/facebook/Haxl as its goal is to allow you to write high-level queries in Haskell and have the library call out to different datasources as efficiently as possible.

Software development topics I've changed my mind on after 6 years in the industry
There are more ways to ensure correct code than manifest static typing. There are editors that will assist you in the construction of correct code that do not rely on old school static typing. Live Typing for instance uses a vm that examines running code and determines things like actual return types for methods on classes and what types are most frequently passed for arguments and feeds that information to the editor to generate warnings to the programmer when they are writing code that may be questionable. These are just editor style warnings but they provide additional feedback to the programmer that the code they are writing may not work as expected. This is what you really want. Help constructing correct code. Here is a talk explaining it in more detail.

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting - Wednesday June 30th
Currently, almost all mainstream dynamically typed languages support type annotation a la Strongtalk. Python calls it "type hints", TypeScript is JavaScript+type annotations, PHP calls it "type declarations" and Ruby does it through a tool called Sorbet. All of them annotate the types in the source code and it is the programmer who must write and maintain the annotation. In all cases, it is not mandatory for the system to correctly type check for it to run. LiveTyping is a type system proposal for Smalltalk, that seeks similar objectives but implemented in a different way. First, it is the environment itself that collects and maintains the types based on the execution of the system, not the programmer. Second, the types are not interleaved in the source code, thus maintaining the syntax and simplicity of the language. And finally, the main objective is not to carry out a static type checking (although it supports it), but to augment the programmers experience increasing the usability of current tools such as searching for senders and implementers, and performing more accurate and safe refactorings. In this talk Hernan will briefly show how LiveTyping is implemented to later concentrate on the improvements made to the tools and the benefits it brings when developing software with Smalltalk. LiveTyping is currently implemented in Cuis Smalltalk and has been successfully used for the last two years in three different universities in Argentina when teaching Object Oriented Programming and Design.
