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.

C23: A Slightly Better C
You don't want nimterop, you want futhark (https://github.com/PMunch/futhark).
The C FFI Nim library lineage goes c2nim --> nimterop --> something i forgot --> futhark.

Why does Nim "wrap" C, rather than allow C code to be pasted directly to .nim files?
Have a look at Futhark . It does what you are requesting.

Current Goals for Nim?
I'm not sure if Nimterop was created specifically to make Nim more mainstream. We have quite a couple different C/C++ interop tools, from c2nim in the core distribution to something like Futhark which automatically wraps things based on libclang.

Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.

Pratt Parsers: Expression Parsing Made Easy
Ha, nice to see this on HN: this article was pretty helpful to me to understand the concept a few years back when extending my PEG parsing library [1] with a Pratt parser; this mitigates the problem of PEG parsers not allowing left recursion and allows for a much more concise notation of grammars with operator precedence. Thank you Bob:
