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.

A Comprehensive Introduction to Golang
The benchmark available at https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/ demonstrates that Golang stands out as one of the most memory-efficient languages presently available. This achievement is attributable to several inherent features of Golang, such as its static typing, robust garbage collection system, and the inherent structuring of data within the language. These traits collectively contribute to Golang's exceptional efficiency in terms of minimal memory consumption compared to other languages.

Ask HN: What are some of the most elegant codebases in your favorite language?
I found Zig implementation of json parsing is interesting. The code is free from hidden control flow !.

why does this while loop run instantly
I think https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/ is a good starting point to compare languages and compilers, also implementations are optimized for the specific language so you don't end up with a poorly ported c++ implementation in rust and wonder why it performs so bad.

How fast is JIT compiled Lua/JavaScript compared to static compiled C++ and Rust measured in runtime?
It varies a lot depending on what the code consists of, but if you want concrete numbers for certain benchmarks, this site might be of interest: https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/

Speed Comparisons: JavaScript vs Python vs C vs Rust
There is not "one real" benchmark. In the end, all you can do is test languages for a specific feature / purpose. You can see how many different suggestions people have here, and here (I think) you can see the difficulties of comparing languages. That site uses quite a lot of algorithms / problems with multiple inputs, single and multithreaded, with different optimization flags (where applicable) and so on paired with different languages, and it's a mess. Sometimes one language is on top, sometimes another. (I mean, python will very rarely beat pure C, but I wont rule out that someone already created an edge case just to refute exactly this point)

Show HN: Invertornot.com – API to enhance your images in dark-mode
Semi-related - I saw this trick on https://v8.dev a while back, but `filter: hue-rotate(180deg) invert();` can be a neat CSS trick to 'dark mode' some kinds of graphics. The `hue-rotate` help a bit to keep 'blues blue' etc.
It's far from perfect, but it's a neat trick to be aware of.

Top 8 Recent V8 Updates
V8 is a high-performance JavaScript engine developed by Google. Its purpose is to convert JavaScript code into machine code for execution by the underlying hardware. Primarily developed by the V8 team at Google, the engine focuses on speed and efficiency. In particular, it relies on just-in-time compilation and uses inline caching for high performance.

C++ Specification vs Implementation
Exactly the same as JavaScript engines. Be it Mozilla's SpiderMoneky, Google's V8, Apple's Webkit, or Microsoft's Chakra. No matter how specific we draft a specification there is always room for interpretation. Every team has a different take on what part of a spec is describing. Oftentimes it's just a matter of varying pros and cons of different approaches on the road to matching spec; various teams just kind of have to pick a direction and run with it. Other times a spec is not only too vague, but clearly short-sighted to boot.

Abstract Syntax Trees and Practical Applications in JavaScript
Remember that we earlier established that every source gets parsed into an AST at some point before it gets compiled or interpreted. For example, platforms like Nodejs and chromium-based browsers use Gooogle's V8 engine behind the scenes to run JavaScript and of course, some AST parsing is always involved before the interpreter kicks in. I looked V8's source and I discovered it uses its own internal parser to achieve this.

Bun vs Node.js: Everything you need to know
While Node.js uses Google's V8 engine that power's Chrome browser, Bun uses JavaScriptCore (JSC), which is an open source JavaScript engine developed by Apple for Safari.

The Ascent of Node.js: How a runtime changed the Web
While the idea of server-side JavaScript was not novel, what powered Node.js was! The V8 engine, birthed by Google for Chrome, was now driving Node.js, bringing unparalleled speed and performance to JavaScript execution.

Introduction to memory management in Node.js applications
Node runs on the V8 JavaScript engine, which handles memory allocation. The entirety of memory used for a running Node application is held in what is known as a Resident Set. This includes:
