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.

Why are there only 3 languages for FPGA development?
He probably meant Amaranth.

VRoom A high end RISC-V implementation
As an aside, the latest and active development of nMigen has been rebranded a few months ago to Amaranth and can be found here: https://github.com/amaranth-lang/amaranth . In case people googled nMigen and came to the repository that hasn't been updated in two years.

Facts every web dev should know before they burn out and turn to painting
Hmm. A followup question: are there any cheats/hacks that would make it possible (if painful) to for example explore the world of USB3, PCIe, or Linux on low-end-ish ARM (eg https://www.thirtythreeforty.net/posts/2019/12/my-business-c..., based on the 533MHz https://linux-sunxi.org/F1C100s), without needing to buy equipment in the mid-4-figure/low-5-figure range, if I were able to substitute a statistically larger-than-average amount of free time (and discipline)?
For example, I learned about https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow recently, a bit of a niche kitchen sink that uses https://github.com/nmigen/nmigen/ to lower a domain-specific subset of Python 3 (https://nmigen.info/nmigen/latest/lang.html) into Verilog which then runs on the Glasgow board's iCE40HX8K. The project basically makes it easier to use cheap FPGAs for rapid iteration. (The README makes a point that the synthesis is sufficiently fast that caching isn't needed.)
In certain extremely specific situations where circumstances align perfectly (caveat emptor), devices like this can sometimes present a temporary escape to the inevitable process of acquiring one's first second-hand high-end oscilloscope (fingers-crossed the expensive bits still have a few years left in them). To some extent they may also commoditize the exploration of very high-speed interfaces, which are rapidly becoming a commonplace principal of computers (eg, having 10Gbps everywhere when USB3.1 hits market saturation will be interesting) faster than test and analysis kit can keep up (eg to do proper hardware security analysis work). The Glasgow is perhaps not quite an answer to that entire statement, but maybe represents beginning steps in that sort of direction.
So, to reiterate - it's probably an unhelpfully broad question, and I'm still learning about the field so haven't quite got the preciseness I want yet, but I'm curious what gadgetry, techniques, etc would perhaps allow someone to "hack it" and dive into this stuff on a shoestring budget? :)

Awesome Lattice FPGA Boards
Worth knowing that are two "nmigen"s nowadays - the one originated in M-Labs and one under a project also called nmigen:
https://github.com/nmigen/nmigen
It's a fork, made for reasons, but more actively developed. whitequark (long time author/contributor) works on this fork, and no longer the M-Labs version.

Unifying the CUDA Python Ecosystem
Sounds like nmigen might be a good open source successor to the project that you describe: https://github.com/nmigen/nmigen

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is the dominant Javascript server runtime environment for Javascript and Typescript (sort of) projects. But over the years, we have seen several attempts to build alternative runtime environments such as Deno and Bun, today’s subject, among others.
-
Bun 1.1
https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues is the ideal place -- we try to triage all incoming issues, the more specific the repro the easier it is to address but we will take a look at everything that comes in.
-
I have created a small anti-depression script
Install Node.js (or Bun, or Deno, or whatever JS runtime you prefer) if it's not there

How QUIC is displacing TCP for speed
QUIC is very exciting, after seeing what it can do for performance in Cloudflare network and Cloudflare workers, I can't wait to finally see it in Deno[0] 1.41.

Unison Cloud
So as an end user it's kind of like https://deno.com/ where you buy into a runtime + comes prepacked with DBs (k/v stores), scheduling, and deploy stuff?
> by storing Unison code in a database, keyed by the hash of that code, we gain a perfect incremental compilation cache which is shared among all developers of a project. This is an absolutely WILD feature, but it's fantastic and hard to go back once you've experienced it. I am basically never waiting around for my code to compile - once code has been parsed and typechecked once, by anyone, it's not touched again until it's changed.
Interesting. Whats it like upgrading and managing dependencies in that code? I'd assume it gets more complex when it's not just the Union system but 3rd party plugins (stuff interacting with the OS or other libs).

Deno in 2023
~90MB+ at this stage and do now allow compression without erroring out. Deploying ala Golang is not feasible at that level but could well be down the line if this dev branch is picked up again!
The exe output grew from from ~50MB to plus ~90MB from 2021 to 2024: https://github.com/denoland/deno/discussions/9811 which mean Deno is worse than Node.js's pkg solution by a decent margin.

Mini site for recommending songs using Svelte & Deno
Behind the scenes is a simple Sveltekit-powered server function to fetch a Spotify client token then find a user's recommendation playlist and its track information. A Deno edge function to performs this data fetch and renders server-side Svelte.

Supercharge your app with user extensions using Deno JavaScript runtime
If your application is written in JavaScript, integrating it with JavaScript extensions is a no-brainer. However, Secutils.dev is entirely written in Rust. How would I even begin? Fortunately, I recently came across an excellent blog post series explaining how to implement your JavaScript runtime in a Rust application with Deno:
- Deno, the next-generation JavaScript runtime
- Oxlint – written in Rust – 50-100 Times Faster than ESLint
