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.

March 2022 What Are You Working On?
I split the CPU simulations out of my Raspberry Pi Simulated Mainframe to provide more flexibility in their use. The CPU simulations are now in Sim CPU. In addition to the simple simulator that just blinks the lights in interesting ways, I have an 8080 simulator (and some simulated devices) more or less working. I am hoping to actually be able to boot CP/M on it before too long.

February 2022 What Are You Working On?
I've split "simulators" out of my Raspberry PI Mainframe Simulator. In addition, since I have an "Intel 8080/8085 Assembly Language Programming" book (from Radio Shack, remember them?) laying around, I've started writing an 8080 simulator. I've got over half the instructions implemented and tested. My goal is to be able to get CP/M running on it.

December 2021 What Are You Working On?
I picked up a MCP4725 I2C DAC and an ADS1015 I2C ADC from AdaFruit and plan to write drivers for them for my personal driver library (as a side note, if anyone wants to move any of these to the Ada Driver Library, feel free). I am thinking of using these to add another module to my Raspberry Pi Mainframe Simulator so that I can have some knobs and a meter doing important looking things.

Blinkenlights and PDP-11 Assembly Language.
I got inspired to make my own version of blinkenlights. This is before I heard about projects like the blinkenbone or PiDP-11. My version with 3D models to print and the Ada source code is here, Pi-Mainframe I think got simh running on it, booted RSTS/E and am now exploring PDP-11 assembly language for the first time since about 1985. Some of my routines are here, PDP-11 stuff. I hope that I've learned a few things since 1985 ;-)

June 2023 What Are You Working On?
GCC 13.1.0 for aarch64-apple-darwin21, both native and cross-compiling to arm-eabi. Had to make a second release of both, because libgmp.dylib had a very unhelpful runpath setting.
- GCC 13.1.0 releases for Apple silicon
- MacOS GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)
- Release GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)

May 2023 What Are You Working On?
Libadalang2xml now in Alire. NB, if you’re on macOS, you’ll need one of the packages I’ve been building; alr/macOS can’t build langkit, libadalang.

macOS GCC 13.1.0 (x86_64)
Yes: see here.

What are does the hobbyist programmer miss comparing the paid versus free Ada ecosystem?
This is why, when considering whether to build & release a nn.2.0 macOS version, I’ll only do so if there’s a good reason: for example, GCC 12.1.0 couldn’t compile C source on macOS Ventura (version 13).
-
December 2022 What Are You Working On?
Over at Github, I’ve released GCC 12.2.0 for macOS: x86_64 for Intel Macs, aarch64 for Apple silicon. I have an arm-eabi build too, must get round to releasing it.
-
[ANN] XNAdaLib 2022 and GNATStudio 23.0wb for macOS Monterey.
XNAdaLib is a large set of ready to use Ada libraries prebuilt with GNAT FSF 12.1 for macOS.

Ada on apple silicon
For the next few years you’ll be able to run x86_64 binaries on Apple silicon. I produced an aarch64 package based on GCC 12.1.0, see here, but (a) GCC 12.1 won’t compile C code on Ventura, (b) if you want an ecosystem try Alire whose default toolset includes a GCC 12.2-based compiler, albeit x86_64!
