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.

hscpp: An experimental library to hot-reload C++
hscpp (Hotswap C++) is an experimental library I created which allows you to hot-reload C++. It was heavily inspired by Runtime Compiled C++, and works by linking DLLs into your project at runtime.

Continue with Javascript or switch to C++
The only recent attempt to make something like this practical, as far as I know, was RCCpp. Going by the GH activity, it looks like it kind of went nowhere.

I want to make my game a dll that can use functions from my engine exe
FYI I maintain a list of runtime compiled C++ approaches on this wiki: https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/wiki/Alternatives

Reloadr – Hot code reloading tool for Python
There is https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledC...
The idea is to use virtual functions, and recompile new classes into a shared library. The shared lib is linked into the running program, and old instances of the classes are deleted and replaced by new instances constructed from the share library.
I am working on a library using the same (stolen) idea here:
https://github.com/jheruty/hscpp
Proof of concept demo:

hscpp is still very alpha, and I’m sure I’ll find lots of bugs as I work on a “real” demo. In contrast, Runtime Compiled C++ is quite mature and is used in real game projects.
Note that this approach very much limits your architecture. For example, you won’t be able to use statics, as the newly compiled shared libraries won’t see them.
It’s a finicky thing, worth it to me, but not something you can just plop in to an established project.

Quine or self reproducing program written using C language
Well of course it's possible to generate executable code at runtime in C++ since clang itself is written in C++, but it's definitely a much larger undertaking, but there's two such efforts I know of, Cling and RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus.

What has been the most difficult thing that you have learned with Python?
the most complicated/interesting thing i figured out was probably the AST manipulation and decorator fuckery required for my rewrite of julvo/reloading

Reloadr – Hot code reloading tool for Python
Write a similar thing [1] which can also reload functions from source before every execution but also load loop bodies from source before each iteration. Can be helpful for long running loops like when downloading or training deep learning models.
