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.

Zig, Rust, and Other Languages
There's also Odin[0] too. I tried using them all and Odin was pretty nice. Nim is also good too but a lot more features.
But - I concluded that language matters a lot less compared to APIs. Yes, the language should have enough good features to let the programmers express themselves, but overall well designed APIs matter a lot more than language. For example -tossing most of the C stdlib and following a consistent coding style (similar to one described here -[1]), with using Arenas for memory allocation, I can be just as productive in C.

Odin Programming Language
I don't know about a list online but here's what I know off, in the C/C++ realm
Odin - https://odin-lang.org/
I highly recommend looking at:
* The Overview: <https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/>
* examples/demo: <https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/blob/master/examples/demo/...>
As for the first example: a basic lexing example is probably boring, but it does show some basic ideas of what the language is about. If people want to write better examples or just reorder the current ones, please feel free to make an issue or PR on the website's GitHub page: <https://github.com/odin-lang/odin-lang.org>.

Why your F# evangelism isn't working
There's also MojoLang[0] that brands itself as a alternative to Python, and Google will look to release Carbon soon as well. It'll be interesting to see how these two grow.
There's also Odin[1] that looks promising.
I don't think C# is going anywhere, F# on the other hand :shrug: is at the mercy of MS - they always seem to be on the fence about it.

Zig Roadmap 2024 [video]
Comparatively
> Incremental rebuilds cause a lot of compilation problems, bugs, and errors. Incremental rebuilds are also slow due to the amount of in between files generated between builds. Jai will contain no incremental rebuild steps. All will be compiled in one fresh compilation. This means that the compiler will need to run fast with high performance. The eventual goal is to compile a 1 million lines of code in 1 second, but as of right now, the compiler can only do 250,000 lines in 1 second.

Focus: A simple and fast text editor written in Jai
Either ask very politely for years, or be in denial like half the Jai community that writes Jai but is never able to compile it.
Yes, there is a whole Jai community wiki made from half cobbled together knowledge (https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki), and a super secret discord made for the super elite, non-compiler-having plebs are banned.

The V Programming Language 0.4
- Philosophical approaches behind project or lack thereof.
Now on the personal, subjective note, the more I look, the more I want to avoid V and get my hands on Jai [1][2]

Porting 58000 lines of D and C++ to jai, Part 0: Why and How
Here's a community wiki that's been kept up-to-date https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki
Odin has similar syntax, but one of the main reasons I am interested in Jai is because it has strong meta-programming support[0], where as Odin explicitly doesn't for philosophical reasons.

Jai looks like C++ with all the syntactic sugar
After a long time without any changes to the common resources about jai, I recently checked the Jai-Community-Library/wiki and was a bit surprised when I saw all the "::", "->", ".{}", ".[]" and of course the racist semicolon, as described in this funny little video.

What are some alternatives?
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
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
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).
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
carbon-lang - Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)
bevy - A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
Beef - Beef Programming Language
crystal - The Crystal Programming Language
red - Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
TinyGo - Go compiler for small places. Microcontrollers, WebAssembly (WASM/WASI), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.
awesome-wasm-runtimes - A list of webassemby runtimes
Vale - Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/
