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.

Cannot Resolve a Conflicting Type Error
Currently, I'm trying to migrate a project from MSVC to GCC to target different platforms aside from Windows. Using this makefile, a error: conflicting types for for all the methods defined in builtins.c and builtins.h. I'm using macros to define the functions so I suspect that has something to do with it.

Trouble reproducing bug
Now to reproduce the bug, you have to run the contents of bug.txt. I ran it in REPL mode to see which specific line failed to execute (it’s the last line). Now inside one of the dependency files(the function sort_terms is where the bug occurred), I added the print statement to sorta approximate where it crashed.

Trouble Reproducing a Bug
The program that I am working on is an interpreter, Minima, and it’s compiled with MSVC. More specifically I’m working on a symbolic math library in Minima. The executable that crashed can be found here. Download all the files in the example folder with the executable, those mainly consist of the dependencies I was using.

Compiler Optimizations Without an AST
I did write an AST to expedite the development time since I had initially thought that ASTs were not necessary, especially considering the nature of my languages syntax. However a lot of complications have arisen from trying to implement compiler optimizations without an AST. I was wondering whether there are some low hanging compiler optimizations that don’t require an AST to implement.

Favorite Language and Why
Minima because I fucking wrote it. It’s OO, functional, supports lambdas and anon functions, and it’s way faster that Python.

July 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I’ve just finished writing Minima’s inheritance system. You can check out an example here . I’ve been trying to weed out all the bugs and make Minima super stable.
- Minima, an object-oriented scripting lang

Added inheritance to Minima
Minima now supports single-inheritance via the extend keyword. It resembles something akin to this example.

Composition vs Inheritance
From my observations, inheritance seems to be highly discourage among the programming community Although inheritance and polymorphism in general is a powerful tool when utilized properly, I’m unsure as to whether the addition of polymorphistic features to a programming language that I’m writing, is a sound idea.

The 3 languages question
my own language Star! enjoyability is one of my main goals with the language, along with the "powerful, productive, and predictable" line

Language Design: Against Mixed-cased Type Names
This is actually done by several bootstrapped languages, such as Crystal, Nim, Raku, and even my own language Star

Your language's favorite MINOR feature?
In Star, commas and newlines are analogous everywhere, even inside array literals. This actually solves the issue of trailing commas by not needing commas at all

Building a new .NET language, doing to C# what Kotlin did to Java
I really like Nemerle's OOP+FP hybrid model, and I've taken a lot of it to heart while designing my language Star, which is similar in spirit.

extending enums
Most languages are afraid to for some reason, most likely because it "breaks tradition" or whatever. The only languages I'm aware of that allow this are Hack (for C-like enums) and my language Star (for both C-like and OCaml-like enums)

Is there a language with structural type constraints for variants and records?
It's currently a work-in-progress, mainly due to subtyping issues with generics (which I'm honestly too lazy to fix rn, focusing on other stuff first). the code is located here, although be aware that it's a bit messy lol

November 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Making lots of progress on Star's typechecker, which has been very difficult due to its expansive type system. Although still not completely finished or useable, it does at least work a bit. Currently need to implement type variable expansion/substitution, "lazy" type refinement (because I have no clue what else to call it), and some basic support for existentials
-
Initially-nullable types
I think this is referred to as partial or lazy initialization. I have this feature in my own language Star (which us null-safe), but I don't have an actual null literal for this purpose

Programming Language Checklist
Sure I guess, here's one for Star: ``` You appear to be advocating a new: [X] functional [X] imperative [X] object-oriented [ ] procedural [ ] stack-based [X] "multi-paradigm" [ ] lazy [ ] eager [X] statically-typed [ ] dynamically-typed [ ] pure [X] impure [ ] non-hygienic [ ] visual [X] beginner-friendly [ ] non-programmer-friendly [ ] completely incomprehensible programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work.

Typechecking new type system features
Hello, I'm the developer of the Star programming language, and I have some questions about how to typecheck several new/uncommon features that it has, and looking for feedback on it in general.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing minima and star you can also consider the following projects:
boring-lang - A very boring programming language
gaiman - Gaiman: Text based game engine and programming language
Ark - ArkScript is a small, fast, functional and scripting language for C++ projects
starlight - JS engine in Rust
Freeze-OS - An Operating System that runs on top of an interpreter.
xvm - Ecstasy and XVM
Yoakke - A collection of libraries for implementing compilers in .NET.
Cwerg - The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.
konna - A fast functional language based on two level type theory
gravity - Gravity Programming Language
aulang - simple and fast scripting language
