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.

Lost my creative spark - looking for help
Over the last couple months or so, I've totally lost my creative spark. I'd been working on a web game and a programming language for 3.5 years and 1 year, respectfully, but both of them reached a point where I don't know what to do next...

Guide For Making a Package Manager?
Context: I've made my own programming language (Toy), and I'm currently working on a game + engine to go with it. Having some experience with npm, I realize that it might be possible to make something similar to download Toy scripts directly into a mods folder in the game.

Manager keeps dissing languages other than C
Funnily enough, I'm working on a custom scripting language implemented in C. Given how slow Python is, I couldn't implement my lang in it.

The Great Filter for programming languages?
People need to promote their langs more - get them out there, you know? Usage is the only way they'll survive.

Supporting GCC and MSVC at the same time
So I've made my own scripting language called Toy. It was built primarily in a WSL environment, using GCC - the problem is, I also want to support MSVC out of the box. I think it works pretty well as is, with a Visual Studio project provided alongside some makefiles.

A quick comparison of my lang's speed (Toy)
And then I wrote the exact same code in JavaScript and C, and compared them. The result was quite good, IMO -

Synesthesia in coding languages
C/C++ is crunchy in a good way, Java is like chewing concrete. JavaScript used to be soft and smooth, but after making my own programming language (which felt silky smooth), JavaScript now feels too soft and sticky.

Toy Literal Byte Alignment
I'm making a programming language called Toy, which is intended to allow easy modding of video game logic by the players. To this end, each value within Toy, be it a number, a string, a variable name, etc. is stored in a structure called "Toy_Literal".

How do you say “blah blah blah” in your language?
Don't forget the semicolon.

Share your 7DRL progress as of Wednesday! (2023-03-08)
The goal was partially to make a good jam game, and also to test my custom scripting language Toy. Unfortunately, a combination of a new, crappier computer and the fact that it's an untested lang and engine means that it's really friggin' slow - I'm struggling to get 60fps, even when the simulation rate was adjusted.

We Need Simpler Types (speculations on what can be improved in future type systems and on erasing the boundaries between types and values)

Interested in pursuing a PhD in Formal Methods
Does your current company have FM positions? Maybe you could work and learn at the same time. There are a lot of big name companies that are really investing in FM now that more tools are available. Here’s a list someone compiled that can give you an idea of where it’s being used in industry. I see some info is not quite up-to-date (e.g., IBM does have FM, or formal verification, in the US but I think most research is out of their Israel lab; Rockwell Collins is now Collins Aerospace after being acquired by UTC Aerospace).

Formal Verification Methods in industry
When you say "formal verification methods", what kind of techniques are you interested in? While using interactive theorem provers will most likely not become very widespread, there are plenty of tools that use formal techniques to give more correctness guarantees. These tools might give some guarantees, but do not guarantee complete functional correctness. WireGuard (VPN tunnel) is I think a very interesting application where they verified the protocol. There are also some tools in use, e.g. Mythril and CrossHair, that focus on detecting bugs using symbolic execution. There's also INFER from Facebook/Meta which tries to verify memory safety automatically. The following GitHub repo might also interest you, it lists some companies that use formal methods: practical-fm
