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.

Pluto, a Modern Lua Dialect
I looked into the jump table optimization. The normal Lua version is here[1] and it uses the opcode as a index into a static array to jump to the label. The “faster” Pluto version is here[2] and it just uses a switch statement on the labels. I would naively assume that these would compile to the same code because the lua version is just manually creating the jump table and the pluto version is leaving it to the compiler. How could the compiler optimize the switch so that would outperform the manual jump table (by a decent margin)?

You can just compile the script through plutoc to see if there are any errors, or use Pluto Language Server to have errors show up in your IDE.

Building a Wordle Clone with Lua! 🕹
If you're new to the 12 in 24 series, I'm learning and building projects with a new programming language every month - this month, it's the Lua scripting language. You can find source code for the projects I build in the official GitHub repository (check it out, this week's folder contains code for both this and two other bonus projects!).

Gearing up for Lua
This month, we're talking about Lua. It's not always a first choice when it comes to programming, but I think there's a lot to enjoy about this little language. Heck, I'm a big game development fan myself - I would look into it even if that was the only reason to.

It’s Portuguese. It’s the same in the Lua codebase [1].

How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
I think Lua is a good example of doing documentation well. The source code is commented only as much as needed, mainly with brief comments about things that might not be obvious and a small number of longer explanations of how the architecture works (mainly relevant to developers). It also has a super nice feature that's surprisingly rare: each file has a very short line at the top that describes what the file is, so you don't have to guess based on the filename alone. The API is documented in a single HTML file on the website that has both the high level descriptions of the language and architecture, as well as documentation for each public-facing function. The docs are maintained by hand, but the API is mostly stable, so the docs don't need to change very often.
